2. This schedule will be for employees paid bi-weekly. Enter the name of the Paygroup (this can be anything that will help you identify the Paygroup). Choose the Pay Frequency using the drop-down menu
   
   
3. Use the drop-down menu to select the day of the week the employees will be paid
   
   
4. Then select the next Pay Date. After you choose the next Pay Date, the following 2 fields (Deadline to Run Payroll, and For Work Done) will automatically populate. The Deadline cannot be changed as this date accounts for the time needed to process payroll based on the next Pay Date you have selected
   
   
5. The next field For Work Done, can be changed. The system will suggest a couple time frames, or you can choose Other for more options

Click on the green pencil icon next to the Compensation section in order to edit. Re-assign the employees to the new paygroup.
