Summary

PayGlobal contains a set of standard pay periods - Weekly, Fortnightly, 4-Weekly, Bi-Monthly, Monthly, or Variable periods.

On occasion, you may need to use a non- standard pay period. For example, for quarterly payments. In this situation, you would need to set up a User Defined Pay Period.

How to set up a User Defined Pay Period

Set Pay Period Labels in Modify Company Settings:

1. Navigate to Administration | Modify Company Settings | General | Settings | PTDs tab.
2. In the Pay period label 1 field, enter the name of the first User Defined Pay Period. For example, 'Quarterly'. Repeat for any other User Defined Pay Periods.
3. Click Save + Close. You will see an information box.
4. Click OK to return to the Grid.
5. Log out of PayGlobal.
6. Log back in to PayGlobal.

Set Accumulators for the User Defined Pay Period:

1. Navigate to Organisation | General Periods.
2. The PayGlobal tree now displays the new User Defined Pay Period entity that you created in Modify Company Settings.
3. Add the first record to the User Defined Pay Period.
4. Enter the dates in the Details tab.
5. Click Save + Close to return to the Grid.

Create the User Defined Pay Period and attach Accumulators:

1. Navigate to Organisation | General Periods | Periods.
2. Add a new record. For example, 'Quarterly', then click Save.
3. Select the Calendar tab, then click Edit.
