How to Edit a Pay Schedule
Background
Patriot will automatically group your employees in a pay schedule based on the pay frequency you select. After you have completed your first-time setup and customized your pay schedule, you can still edit some of the Pay Schedule fields.
Follow the chart from left to right for the criteria for editing a pay schedule
To edit an existing pay schedule when you have not run a payroll using the pay schedule:
- Go to Settings > Payroll Settings > Pay Schedules.
- Click on the name of the schedule you want to edit.
- Update the name, pay period ends on the date, or pay date as needed.
- Click Save.
Why can’t I edit the “Pay Frequency” or the “Pay Period End” dates?
If you have used a pay schedule in a payroll, you can’t edit the Pay Frequency or the Pay Period End dates.
- In cases where you need to adjust the pay frequency or pay period dates create a new pay schedule and re-assign pay schedules to employees as needed.
You can, however, adjust the pay date at any time. The pay schedule “edit” page will display the current iteration of the pay schedule. Also check out, “How to Delete or Inactivate a Pay Schedule.”
If you need a one-off payroll, run an Off-cycle. Check out our help article, “How do I Run an Off-cycle Payroll?” for more info.
