Managing PR Pay Period Control

The PR Pay Period Control form is essential for managing payroll periods. It allows businesses to open and manage pay periods for employee payments, ensuring accurate payroll processing.

Before you start

• Knowledge of payroll group configurations and pay period frequencies.

Steps

1. Open thePR Pay Period Controlform.
2. Create a record for each pay period, specifying the beginning and ending dates.
3. If the pay period spans two months, check the 'expensed and/or paid in more than one month' checkbox and specify the first and second months.
4. Set a cutoff date, typically the last day of the month, to capture all time cards for expense accrual.
5. Ensure the limit month is set correctly, especially for year-end pay periods, to manage annual limits accurately.
6. Match the standard hours, days, and weeks to your pay period frequency (weekly or bi-weekly).
7. On the payment sequence tab, add additional pay sequences if needed for adjustments or bonuses.
8. Assign active frequency codes to each pay period so deductions and liabilities calculate correctly.
9. After setting up, close the pay period and run the final ledger update.

Notes

• Ensure the limit month is set correctly to avoid issues with annual limit calculations.
• Failure to assign active frequency codes will result in no employee-specific codes calculating.
