Set up Pay Schedules

Pay schedules define the pay periods, pay frequency, and payout settings for your business. You must set up pay schedules before you can run payroll.

Pay schedules configured at the business level apply to all centers by default. You can override these settings at the center level if needed.

  3. Set the Default payout days.

  4. Set the Pay day for each pay period.

  5. If applicable, enable the setting to allow overlapping periods.

  6. Click Save.

Submission deadlines are automatically generated for each pay period based on the pay day you set.
