How to Edit a Pay Schedule

Background

Patriot will automatically group your employees in a pay schedule based on the pay frequency you select. After you have completed your first-time setup and customized your pay schedule, you can still edit some of the Pay Schedule.

Follow the chart from left to right for the criteria for editing a pay schedule

To edit an existing pay schedule when you have not run a payroll using the pay schedule:

Go to Settings > Payroll Settings > Pay Schedules.
Click on the name of the schedule you want to edit.
Update the name, pay period ends on the date, or pay date as needed.
Click Save.

Why can’t I edit the “Pay Frequency” dates?

If you have used a pay schedule in a payroll, you can’t edit the Pay Frequency dates. In cases where you need to adjust pay period dates create a new pay schedule and re-assign pay schedules to employees as needed.

You can, however, adjust the pay date at any time. The pay schedule edit page will display the current iteration of the pay schedule.

If you need a one-off payroll, run an Off-cycle. Check out our help article, “Running an Off-cycle Payroll for more info.
