You may notice:

• That sometimes, some of the pay schedules may not show in the list, for your country.
• For example, the "Four-weekly" pay period option only shows for the UK, and the "Semi-monthly" option shows for all countries except the UK.
• If ever a pay schedule isn't available for your country, it's usually because it's not recommended, based on local tax rules.

Keep in mind that:

• You can keep changing the pay period settings right up until the day you first pay people in the pay batch.
• Once you start paying people, the pay batch's schedule becomes locked and can't be changed.
• However you can still create new pay schedules, and bridge your pay batch over to the new pay period settings.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting which day a pay batch's pay period is to end on!
