Definition

This field specifies how the payment date should be calculated for each payroll period.

Dependencies

The field is used in connection with the Number of days field.

Use

In this field, you specify if the system should

  • add the value to the FROM date of the period
  • deduct the value from the TO date of the period
  • use the value as the date of the payment day

    (This option is only possible for monthly payroll periods.)

You enter the value in the Number of days field.

Example

In your system, you use monthly payroll periods and want to define the 25th of the month as the payment day. Make the following entries:

Payment day rule: 4
Number of days: 25

That means that the payment day in every payroll period is not based on the length of the month of the 25th.

In your system, you use weekly payroll periods and want the payment day to come four days after the end of the payroll period. You make the following entries:

Payment day rule: 3
Number of days: 4

For example, for the period from May 29 until June 04 2000, the payment day is June 08 2000.
