FAQ: Editing Period Schedule Dates

How do I change a period payment date?
After you start processing payroll for a period, you can't change the period payment date. To change the period payment date when payroll is in progress:
  1. Access the
    Run Pay Cancel
     task to cancel payroll.
  2. Access the
    Edit Period Schedule
     task, and change the payment date for a period.
  3. Access the
    Run Pay Calculation
     task to calculate payroll again.
How do I change the period dates for a period schedule?
To change the dates for a period schedule, we recommend that you both:
  • Create a new pay group.
  • Move workers to the new pay group on the date the change occurs.
If you alter the existing period schedule for the pay group instead, you might impact retro, proration, and FLSA calculations.
How can I add dates to periods when I extend the schedule?
When adding periods with the
Edit Period Schedule
 task, enter dates with each period you add.
When you generate periods for an existing schedule with the
Generate Period Schedule Periods
 task, Workday automatically populates relevant dates. For more information, see Generate Periods for Period Schedules.
When you use the
Put Period Schedule
 web service to add periods, you can enter all relevant dates for each new period in the EIB spreadsheet. For more information, see Use Put Period Schedule EIB.
