Pay Cycles

This article outlines how finance admins can create and edit pay cycles for a school on Clipboard.

Only Finance Admins have permission to create and edit Pay Cycles.

A Pay Cycle is the frequency of time that any business pays its employees. Eg: Weekly, Fortnightly.

To create a Pay Cycle:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Select Timesheets

  3. Select the Pay Cycles tab

  4. Select Create (top right). Then fill out the details. Save.

To edit an existing Pay Cycle, simply click on the Edit/Pencil icon of the Pay Cycle you want to edit, make the necessary changes and Save!

General Notes:

  • Once a Pay Cycle has been created, Clipboard will automatically update the dates of your next Pay Cycle

  • Pay Cycle dates cannot overlap

  • Pay Cycles can never have a gap between them

  • You can have more than one Pay Cycle, but the Timesheets function works more seamlessly when you only have one. There is no need to have multiple Pay Cycles of the same dates, as you can link multiple Departments to the one Pay Cycle. The only reason we would suggest having different Pay Cycles is if different Departments follow different Pay Cycles with differing dates.
