Pay Period

Bi-Monthly pay period

Enable the Bi-Monthly pay period option if the pay period pattern is to pay employees twice per month. Use the Start of first and second pay period fields to specify the period cover per pay period.

Start of first pay period

When using Bi-Monthly pay period setup, specify here the first day of the first pay period of the month.

Start of second pay period

When using Bi-Monthly pay period setup, specify here the first day of the second pay period of the month.

Number of Days in Next Pay Period

In this field, enter the number of days in the next pay period. This number determines the length of the pay period. This number is applied to all Time and Attendance reports. You cannot change the length of the current pay period. The change you make in this field does not take effect until the next pay period.

Number of Days for Adjustments

Enter the number of days from the current day that you can make punch clock adjustments at the touchscreen workstation. If you enter 15 and today is July 31, you can adjust punch clock records back to July 16.

Beginning of Pay Period

This field represents the first day of the current pay period. Maitre'D automatically calculates this date based on the dates in the End of Pay Period and Number of Days in Next Pay Period fields. This is why you cannot access this field.

End of Pay Period

Enter the last day of the current pay period. As the pay period changes, Maitre'D updates the date in this field automatically.

Start of Previous Pay Period

Maitre'D automatically calculates this date using the End of Pay Period and Number of Days in Next Pay Period. This field contains asterisks until a pay period has ended. Once a pay period has ended, Maitre'D updates this field with the Start of the Previous Pay Period.

NOTE: Use great care when setting up these fields in a live environment.If you want to change them in a live environment, you will need to do so under the supervision of the Posera support department, and all reports will be affected.
