Customize Your Pay Cycle

Modified on Wed, 16 Jul at 4:03 PM

A pay cycle determines how often your staff members are paid. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure your pay cycle in MyTime.


Things to know:

  • The ability to access your business' pay cycle is controlled by the 'Accessing Account Settings' access control settings. 
  • The ability to set up a pay cycle is controlled by the "Track Compensation By Staff Member?" setting.
  • For franchise businesses, this setting is controlled at the child level, not the parent account.
  • You can configure the starting day of the pay cycle and specify how often staff members will be paid (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or split monthly).
  • The pay cycle is set at the account level. Once configured, it will apply to all staff members and locations associated with the account.
  • Once established, the configured pay cycle will be visible on staff profiles under the "Compensation Reporting" section, beneath the Payroll Type.
  • The pay cycle data is reflected in the Compensation report 
  • Changing the pay cycle setting will update the compensation report and the compensation information displayed on the staff profile in the Payroll Type section
