Subject: Configuration for Next Pay Dates
Summary:    

Skype message from Vineet for improvement to next pay dates:

Motibhai makes Bimonthly pays on the 10th and 27th of every month. The way our system is designed is that it always changes the next date to 15 and last day of the month. At the moment before making pay, they have to change the pay date. Is there any way we can get the system to maintain this some how? Let me know

They using Time&Att and leave so employees paid from 26th of prior month to 10th of current month in 1st bi-month and from 11th to 25th in next bi- month

Same for monthly pay which is on 25th of Every Month, payroll personnel have to alter the dates at the end of every month after pay update as Link Payrolls Monthly pay dates are automatically set to the end of the month.
