Payroll can be processed for groups of employees who have been assigned to different pay cycles. Batches help define week schedules i.e, working days per week and the number of full working days, half working days and week-offs. You can have different work schedules for different batches.
Creating batches can help you group certain employees together, for example, full-time workers versus part-time workers or you might have a group of workers who insist on being paid on a weekly so you can create a special batch on a weekly basis.
Before you can access the Pay Cycle window, you must first create or pick a batch. To run payroll for your employees, they must be assigned to a batch. Employees can be grouped into multiple batches. All batches are listed out. Any batch can be edited by clicking on the batch name. You can add any number of new batches.
To add a new batch,
- In the Settings menu, Choose the Payroll Batches sub-menu.
- Click on the Add Batch button.
- In the pop-up window, enter the batch name.
- Define the work schedule by marking the working days in a blue, week off in red, and half days in green.
- Click Save. Now, this batch gets added to the list.
