How do I change the default pay period check issue date?

Pay Periods

You'll have a chance to change the future pay period check issue date when you close the current pay period. All of the changes to pay period dates will be made to the future pay period. If you want to change how Connect calculates the future pay period dates and period number, you will need to make changes to the Organization's default pay period preferences.

Changing my future pay period settings

Use the Close Pay Period view to review and make changes to the future pay period settings. (Organization > Close Pay Period)
