How Do I Change Our Payroll from Weekly to Bi-weekly?

One of the steps to change the weekly payrolls to bi-weekly is to set up a new pay period of Bi-Weekly.

To change from weekly payrolls to bi-weekly, complete the following steps:

  1. On the Manage Pay Periods screen, set up a new pay period and select a Frequency of Bi-Weekly.  
  2. On the Manage Leave Periods screen, set up a new leave period and select a Frequency of Bi-Weekly.  
  3. On the Manage Timesheet Periods screen, set up a new timesheet period with a Frequency of Bi-Weekly and a Default Auto-Adjust % of 100%.  
  4. On the Manage Employee Information screen, change the cycles for timesheets to the new bi-weekly cycle and change the leave cycle to the new bi-weekly cycle.  
  5. On the Manage Employee Taxes screen, change the Pay Cycle to the new bi-weekly cycle.
  6. On the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, enter the Hourly rate of pay and tab through the field.

    All the other fields pertaining to salary (Annual, Payroll Salary) are updated to bi-weekly. Make sure that the pay period salary is correct. Otherwise, auto-adjusted timesheets for salaried employees could be incorrect.
