It is important to correctly set up payroll periods on Access Education People in order to create salaries and payroll claims.
Because payroll periods do not generate automatically, they will need to be set up manually by following the steps below.
To add a new payroll period:
Click Setup and then Settings.
Click Module Settings and then Payroll Settings.
Click Payroll Period, then Add Payroll Period.
Select the payroll from the Payroll dropdown and enter the period number in the Period Num field.
Enter a start and end date for the period.
Enter the tax year for this period in the Tax Year field and the pay date in the Pay Date field.
Click Save.
Once a payroll period is entered, it cannot be deleted. If you've entered a payroll period in error you can click it and edit its details, but you can no longer remove it from the system. In this case it's advised to simply change the dates in order to configure a future payroll period that would've been added to the system at a later time.
⚠️ Important: If you have more than one Payroll set up within the organisation you will need to create new payroll periods for each payroll.
