How to change an employee pay run from fortnightly to quarterly.

My 2 employees have been set up for fortnightly payroll runs  but they should be quarterly.  If quarterly is still not available, they need to be monthly.  How to change when option is not available.

How to change an employee pay run from fortnightly to quarterly.

Hi Moula, 

Thank you for bringing this query up as this is actually a common question especially for quarterly payruns. 

 

At the moment "quarterly" is not an option that is available in KeyPay.

We however have a workaround, due to STP need to create a payrun based on your pay schedule so you can create a a payrun monthly but with zero amount on the first 2 months of the quarter and then enter the figures on the last month of the quarter. 

 

Alternatively, you can add the Monthly Pay Schedule via Payroll Settings > Pay Schedules > Add then create a new pay schedule i.e. monthly 

Once the Pay Schedule is added, you then need to go to the employee details settings and under Pay Run Defaults > Pay Schedule, select monthly. 

 

When you create a payrun and select the monthly schedule, the employees with this pay schedule on their Pay Run Default will be added automatically to the payrun. 

 

I hope this helps you. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help!
