If you need to juggle dates according to your employees' contract types, don't panic, you can handle it easily 🙌
Creating your main payroll period
Go to Reports :
Click on "New main pay period"
Select the start date, the end date of the period and the contracts to be included in the period. If you want to create an alternative pay period for a specific type of contract, it must be unchecked at this stage.
Save
Good to know :
In order to have payroll reports as accurate as possible, please make sure you validate your employees actual hours :
In the time-clock report if you have the Combo time-clock
In order to avoid catching up and verifying complex hours, we recommend you to create your periods for full weeks, from the first Monday of the month to the last Sunday of the following month.
Once the first pay period has been created, the next one must start the following day !
Creating an alternative pay period
To create an alternative payroll report, a main payroll has to have been previously created.
Go to Reports :
Click on "Actions" on the right
Select "Add an alternative period" and fill in the input fields as before. The dates can be different from the main pay period, as long as part of the period is common.
Good to know :
You can create as many alternative pay periods as there are contract types to isolate
If an employee doesn't appear in your reports, check that all contract types have been selected in your payroll periods (general and alternative)
Deleting your pay period
If you want to modify a pay period, you will have to delete it and recreate it.
Go to Reports :
Click on "Actions" on the right
Select "Delete" and confirm
Good to know :
Deleting a main pay period therefore deletes:
Alternative periods
Bonus and down payments filled in,
Changes made in the CTO tab.
On the other hand, deleting an alternative pay period has no impact on the main pay period !
Only the last created payroll period can be deleted !
