Select a Start Date 1 and click Save. This is the date your first pay period began. If you pay weekly the start date is typically the first Monday of the year.
1. Use the Show Pay Periods button (bottom of screen) to see how the pay periods cascade through the current year.
2. If needed change the Start Date (click Save) and use Show Pay Periods again until they are appropriate for your situation.
If you pay twice a month select a Start Date 2 and click *Save *(otherwise ignore this setting). This is the date your second pay period began.
Example: If your first pay period ran from the 1st to the 15th your second pay period would start on the 16th.
