Accounting & payroll
Pay periods
The Accounting page works in half-months — the 1st to the 15th and the 16th to the end — or any dates you type.

Payroll on the Accounting page is looked at one period at a time.
The periods
- Current two weeks — the half of the month today is in: the 1st to the 15th (the 15th still counts as the first half), or the 16th to the last day of the month.
- Previous two weeks — the half before it. On the 3rd of a month, that's the 16th to the end of last month.
Accounting opens on the current half every time. Type any From and To to look at a week, a month, or a stretch of your own — for example a weekly or every-other-week payroll.
A job counts in the period of its date; misc payments, deductions and paychecks count on their own date.
Pay frequency setting
Choosing a different pay frequency or start day for your company is not offered yet: the quick links always use the half-months. Use From and To for any other period.
Reports by period
Reports › Payroll by Pay Period totals payroll by period, with what was paid and what is still outstanding. See Payroll reports.
