Information: 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".
