Summary

You can use the Update Payment Date command to:

• Add Payment dates to future Period PTDs and calendars that you have already created.
• Correct Payment dates in Period PTDs because they were entered incorrectly or when business process changes require Payment date updates.

  Note: The Update Payment Date tool does not take public holidays into account because they are defined by each employee’s holiday group. You would need to manually adjust Payment dates for public holidays.
