Pay Period

The Pay Period button opens a screen where you can configure the number of hours before or after the scheduled close of a pay period that access to a feature is restricted. For example, when applied to the Employee Transaction policy, users can no longer create, edit, or delete transactions (or requests for transactions) that are effective during the indicated time frame.

Note:  

This exclusion time applies to transactions effective during the current pay period or the 2 days after the end (midnight on the last day) of the current pay period.

To configure a pay period exclusion time:

  1. In the Hours Before Close field, enter the number of hours before or after the pay period close that access is restricted.

    Enter a negative value to indicate the exclusion time begins after the pay period close.

    For example, -36.00 excludes anything for the current pay period 36.00 hours after the end of the pay period. Entering 2.5 excludes anything for the current pay period 2.50 hours before the end of the pay period.

  2. From the Pay Period Length list, select the type of pay period (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or all) to which the exclusion applies.

  3. Click Save.
