ETS Administration: Pay Period Setup

Pay Period Setup Overview

The Pay Period Setup page allows users to create and edit pay periods for their departments. Pay Periods can be global and open for all departments to use, or they can be department-specific.

The Mass Create button allows for the creation of multiple fixed-length pay periods. It will set up however many periods as defined that last as many days as defined at creation. For example, creating 3 pay periods that last 10 days per period starting on February 4th will create the first on the 4th, the second on the 14th, and the third on the 24th.
