Add New Pay Period

A new pay period is created only the first time the Payroll module is used. After that, Rapid ERP automatically generates a new period each time the current one is closed, using the same time interval as the previous period. This can be adjusted at any time.

Getting Started

Navigate to Human Resources - Payroll. The screen displays all closed payrolls along with the most recently opened one for the selected period. By default, the view is set to the last 30 days — if the most recent open payroll began before that window, it may not appear. Adjust the range as needed using the Range drop-down list.

Adding a New Pay Period

Click Pay Period and select Add New Pay Period. The Add/Edit Pay Period window will open.

Note
From this point, the setup options are identical to those used when editing an automatically created payroll period. For a full breakdown of each setting, refer to the Edit Payroll Period section. The only difference is that to edit an existing payroll period, it must be opened by double-clicking on it directly.
