To add a Pay Period:

1. Go to Staff (menu) > Staff Portal > Portal Settings.
2. Click Add Pay Period in the Time Clock Pay Periods section.
3. Select the Payroll cycle in the pop-up box.

4. Enter the Start Date of the 1st pay period. This is the date of the first workday in the pay period. 

   Note: If you select Semi-Monthly (i.e. staff are paid on the 1st & 15th of the month), you'll need to enter the start date of the 1st and the 2nd pay period.

5. Enter the Pay Date of the 1st pay period. This is the date that staff receives their wages (check date). 

   Note: If you select Semi-Monthly you'll need to enter both the 1st and 2nd pay date.

6. Verify that you have entered the information correctly.
7. Click Save. 

8. Click OK to confirm. 12 months of pay periods based on the payroll cycle you have chosen are created.

   Note: When adding a custom payroll cycle you can enter as many periods as you wish, Jackrabbit does not auto-create periods for custom cycles.
