Processing Groups - Pay Schedule Tab

Access this tab using Maintain>Payroll>Processing Groups.

Use this tab to specify the pay dates for the processing group that was set up on the previous tab.

Use the First Pay Date and First Pay Period End Date boxes to have the system automatically schedule pay periods and dates based on the pay cycle that was entered on the Group tab. You can then change the information in the Pay Dates table as appropriate. If you enter a new First Pay Date, the system overwrites the previously entered dates.

 

Year: Enter the tax year for which you want to enter pay dates.

First Pay Date: Enter the date for the first payroll of the year. The system uses this information to complete the Pay Dates table.

First Pay Period End Date: Enter the Pay Period End Date for the first Pay Period of the year. The system uses this information to complete the Pay Dates table.

Pay Dates Pay Period, Date, Pay Period Begin Date, Pay Period End Date, SUTA Weeks: If you are reviewing an existing processing group, the Pay Dates previously entered are displayed. If you have begun processing payroll for a pay date within the processing group (Activities>Payroll>Calculate Payroll) its pay date, pay period begin date, pay period end date, and number of SUTA (State Unemployment Tax) weeks appears gray and it cannot be edited. Other dates may be changed as long as processing has not begun. SUTA weeks must be an integer, or whole number, between 0 and 9.
