Pay Periods

With OnTheClock, you can customize your pay period dates. You can choose to have weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay periods. Setting your pay period can retroactively alter time cards — you should archive previous time cards to prevent changes. 

• Weekly: Your pay period will start on the same day each week.
• Bi-weekly: Your pay period will begin on the same day of the week every other week.
• Semi-monthly: Your pay period will start on custom dates each month.
• Monthly: Your pay period will begin on the same day each month.

Note: According to the U.S. Department of Labor, your workweek can start on any day of the week.
