When you start a new payroll with HivePayroll, HR admin has to setup the HR configuration. This is a ONETIME SETUP. Discussed in detail in Section 3 – Initial Setup and Section 4 – Master Configuration.
Follow the path Master Configuration -> Payroll Configuration to reach here. This will take you to the following screen.
Maintain details for the first payroll for organization here.
Period: Choose first month for the payroll from dropdown here
Year: Maintain first year of the payroll from dropdown here
Month Start Day: Input the first day of your first payroll period here. This decides the first day and last day for the first pay period and then future periods can continue from here. For e.g., if you have input 1 here, then the first period will start from 1 to last day of the calendar month (28/29 or 30 or 31). If you have added 5 here, the first period will be from 5th of the month selected in Period section to 4th of the next month.
