Supported cycles
The Version 2.0 extract supports weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, 13 periods per year, and non-standard semi-monthly or monthly codes.
Standard versus non-standard
A standard semi-monthly period ends on the 15th or month end; standard monthly ends at month end. Non-standard codes have different end-date rules.
Example
every four weeks is code H, not ordinary monthly.
Boundary or exception
Choose the actual payroll cycle, not the number of cheques that happened to be issued in one month.
