Summary
The Pay Cycle Maintenance window is used to create and maintain pay cycles. Pay cycles are attached to pay schedules and determine the number of pay periods that occur in a calendar year. When a pay cycle is attached to a pay schedule, the pay schedule will populate with the period begin and end date of each pay period based on the number of pay periods in a year. For example, if employees are paid bi-weekly and there are 26 periods in the year, the pay schedule will populate with pay period dates (01/01/10 – 01/14/10, 01/15/10 – 01/28/10, etc.) when the pay cycle is attached to a pay schedule.
You can create multiple pay cycles if you pay employees weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. If you pay employees bi-weekly but on two different pay schedules, you can create one bi-weekly pay cycle but create two separate pay schedules.
Once a pay schedule has been created (PR> Maintenance> Pay Schedule), attach the pay schedule to the employee records using the Employee Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Employee> Financial tab> Pay Schedule field). When payroll checks are processed (PR> Computer Checks), employees are included in the batch by the pay schedule attached to the employee records.
