How do I create a new frequency?
This feature is available on all PaySpace editions.
A new frequency (Fortnightly, Monthly or Weekly) can be created on the Pay Frequencies screen by clicking on the "Add Frequency" dropdown button and selecting the type of frequency required.
Important! If a company has multiple frequencies, ensure each has a unique tax certificate prefix number.
Navigate > Configuration > Payroll > Payroll Config > Pay Frequencies
An "Inactive date" field has been added to this screen. When a frequency is made inactivate, it will appear as inactive in the frequency search and will stop users from linking a new employee to the relevant frequency.
