Extra Pay Periods in Sage HRMS

Description

Extra pay period in Sage HRMS

Cause

Every 11 years, organizations that process payroll with a biweekly frequency experience the challenge of 27 pay periods. With a weekly pay frequency, 53 pay periods occur every seven years.

Resolution

If processing a payroll with an extra pay period, update Payroll Setup Options to include it, or CPP/QPP exemptions 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 for weekly or biweekly are incorrect, correct them here.
  3. Click 'Save'.

Note: Update Pay Periods Per Year after the last payroll of the current year and before starting the new year. An incorrect value affects CPP/QPP exemption amounts.
