Pay Period Groups organize employees by how and when they're paid — a weekly field crew, a bi-weekly office group, a commission-based sales group. Putting people into the right group keeps payroll on the right schedule for each part of your workforce.
Where to find Pay Period Groups
From the left sidebar choose HR & Payroll, then Pay Period Groups.
What you see on this screen
The page is in two parts:
- Groups (top) — the named groups, each with its Name and when it was Created (e.g. Field Crews, Office / Admin, Sales / Commission).
- Members (bottom) — the employees in the group you've selected, with their Name, Job Title, Department, Pay Type, and Status.
Setting up a group
- Click New Group and name it for how that set of people is paid.
- Select the group, then click Add Members to put employees into it.
An employee belongs to the group that matches their actual pay schedule, so when payroll runs for that group, the right people are included on the right cadence.
How Pay Period Groups connect to the rest of the app
Pay groups drive who's included in a payroll run and on what schedule. They appear on each employee's Pay Rate and feed the Payroll process.
