How to handle an extra pay period in Sage HRMS

Extra pay period in Sage HRMS

If this is the year you’re processing a payroll with an extra pay period, Payroll Setup Options will need to have the extra pay period otherwise the exemptions for CPP and QPP will be incorrect.

To change or verify the number of pay periods in a year in Sage HRMS:

1. From the navigation pane select Setup, Codes, Options, Payroll Setup Options, Frequency Tab.
2. If the pay periods per year column is incorrect for weekly or biweekly, you’ll need to correct them here.
3. Click 'Save' once changes have been made.

Note: Users should update the Pay Periods Per Year after the last payroll has been finished for the current year and before payroll has been started in the new year. If the number of pay periods per year is incorrect, the exemption amount for CPP and QPP may be incorrect.
