Summary

The following article explains how to change the pay frequency of any or all of your employees.

More Information

Go to " Systems Payroll Payroll Parameters/Maintenance Employee Amendments".

  • Enter the code for the employee who needs a pay frequency change.
  • Press <PGDN> three times to take you to Page 4 of the Employee record (Headed - Basic Pay).
  • On the "Payment Frequency" field, enter the appropriate frequency using one of the following options:
    • M - Paid monthly.
    • W - Paid weekly.
    • F - Paid every fortnight.
    • 4 - Paid every 4 weeks.
It is becoming more common to pay employees on a monthly basis, so that there are only 12 pay periods in the year. Swapping an employee from one frequency to another can lead to confusion in the first period after the change, since tax allowances may have already been used. This will generally sort itself out over the tax year.

If you have employees on more than one pay frequency, you will get an option to choose for which frequencies to run the Payroll as you go into " Systems Payroll Run Payroll".
