Yes, it's better to put your employee on a biweekly schedule, @35351.

 

Every other week or Bi-weekly, pay your employees every two weeks. If you schedule payday for every other Friday, you have 26 payouts per year.

 

To create a payroll schedule here's what to do:

 

  1. Proceed to Employees, then choose Payroll Center
  2. Click the Payroll Schedule ▼ dropdown then select New.
  3. Enter a name for the schedule and choose how often you'll pay employees on the schedule.
  4. Complete the remaining fields, then choose OK
  5. Click Yes to assign the new schedule to all your employees.

 

Then, assign a pay schedule to your employee.

 

  1. Go to Employees, then choose Employee Center.
  2. Double-click the employee's name.
  3. Click the Payroll Info tab.
  4. Select the Payroll Schedule ▼ dropdown.
  5. Choose the Payroll Schedule that you wish to assign to this employee.
  6. Click OK to save.
