Generating Pay Periods

Pay Periods should be generated in advance of the coming year to ensure that they appear on the timesheets and allow normal functionality to continue. To generate Pay Periods, follow the below steps:

If not yet on the Pay Periods page, follow the steps in the “Navigating to the Pay Periods Page” section.

1. Once on the Pay Periods page, use the Select Pay Period drop down to choose the Pay Period type to generate.

2. Click Generate Dates 

The Detail View pop-up window launches.

3. Select the year to generate dates for in the Year dropdown. Note: If the year in the list has no dates in parenthesis next to it, it does NOT yet have Pay Periods generated.

*The Initial Date field will fill in automatically based on the previous year’s final pay period’s end date. 

4. Click Generate Dates 

The dates for the determined year will appear.

5. Use the Start Date and End Date columns to adjust the dates for the Pay Periods if necessary. When the field is clicked, a calendar will appear. Dates can either be selected using the calendar or by highlighting the date text and typing over it.

If you modify the start date for a pay period, you will need to adjust the previous periods stop date before saving. If you modify a periods stop date, you will need to modify the next pay periods start date.

6. Click Save .

The generated Pay Periods will save. Future and past pay periods can be viewed on the main Pay Periods page by clicking on the  arrow to the left of the year, expanding the list to view its start/end dates.  

Repeat steps 2-7 for additional Pay Periods if necessary.

Remember, if you modify the start date for a pay period, you will need to adjust the previous periods stop date before saving. If you modify a periods stop date, you will need to modify the next pay periods start date.
