In the payment schedule, you can set employee payroll periods if the company has more than one payroll period in a month. These settings follow the concept of Payroll Configuration settings. Previously, you could learn how to manage cut-off settings here.

Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Settings menu.

2. In the Payroll menu, click the Payment Schedule tab.
   

3. Click the “Create schedule” button to add a new payment schedule.
   

4. Enter the payment schedule name in the Schedule name field, and add a description if necessary.
   

5. Select a Parent schedule to determine the main payroll schedule reference.
   

   Check Inherit schedule settings if the parent schedule follows existing settings.

6. Check Tax calculation if tax calculations should be processed together with the default payroll run. If this option is not enabled, taxes will be calculated automatically when running payroll for the payment schedule.
   

7. In the Payment cycle section, choose whether payments will be made Monthly, Weekly, Daily, or Custom.
   

8. If you select the Monthly payment cycle, you will also need to specify the date on which salaries will be paid each month.
   

9. Enter the attendance date limit in the Attendance cutoff field. This affects the calculation of daily-based components, such as overtime, late deductions, and meal allowances.
   

10. In the Cutoff period field, enter the payroll cutoff date. This setting affects prorated salary calculations and monthly-based components, such as basic salary and position allowance.
    

    Check Use last month’s attendance if daily-based component calculations will refer to attendance data from the previous month.

11. If you select Weekly, you will be required to enter the weekly payment schedule start date in the Start Date field, the payroll payment date, and the cutoff day in the Cutoff period field.
    

    Payday affects both the payroll period and the tax period. You can view the simulation in the Schedule breakdown section at the bottom.

12. If you choose Daily, select the payment schedule start date and specify on which day salary payments will be made.
    

    For the Daily payment cycle, payroll schedules are created daily. This means the system will generate payroll schedules for 1 February, 2 February, 3 February, and so on.
    - Start Date is used to determine the start date of the daily payroll schedule.
    - Payday is used to determine the payroll payment date and will also mark the end of the cutoff for the current payroll period.
    As an example, if a company wants to create a daily payment schedule starting on 1 February with payroll payments made on the 20th of each month, the configuration would be as follows:
    - Start Date: 1 February
    - Payday: 20
    As a result, the period 1 February – 20 February will be recorded in the February payroll and tax period, while 21 February – 20 March will be recorded in the March payroll and tax period.

13. If you select the Custom cycle, choose the payment schedule start date in the Start Date field, enter the payroll payment date, and set the cutoff period.
    

    As an example, if a company wants to create a custom payment schedule starting on 1 February with a 14-day duration per schedule, the configuration would be as follows:
    - Start Date: 1 February
    - Payday: 15
    The payday is set to this date because the following day will be the start of the cutoff for the next period.
    - Cutoff Period: 14 days
    With this configuration, the system will automatically generate payroll periods with a date range starting from 1 February – 14 February, and so on.
    You can view the Schedule breakdown of the created custom cycle at the bottom.
    

14. Once everything is set correctly, click “Save” to save the payment schedule.
    

15. The payment schedule you created will appear as shown. You can click the “payment schedule name” to view its details.
    

16. If the payment schedule is no longer used, you can delete it by clicking “Actions” and selecting Delete.
