Using HQ Frequency Codes

HQ Frequency Codes control how often payroll items such as deductions and earnings apply (for example weekly, or inactive).

Before you start

  • Know your payroll schedules (weekly, biweekly, monthly, and so on).

Steps

  1. Open HQ Frequency Codes.
  2. Enter an alphanumeric code and description.
  3. Assign the code on the payroll deductions or earnings that should follow that schedule.
  4. Save.

Notes

  • Wrong frequencies miscalculate recurring deductions (for example 401k).
  • Setting a code to inactive affects how those items schedule—confirm impact before changing historical codes.
