The deductions and earnings that are used during a pay period are determined by the Perm D/E Freqs settings on the Payroll For Pay Period form. The default value for this field is the value of the Pay Freq field on the Payroll Parameters form.
For example, suppose you have a deduction that is to be made once a month for employees who are paid semi-monthly. This means that the deduction is to be made every other pay period. The following procedure demonstrates how to set this up:
Enter the deduction with a Freq field of Monthly.
Open the Employees form.
On the D & E tab, enter the appropriate pay period value for the Frequency field.
