Create a Standard Payroll Batch

This topic provides instructions for creating a standard payroll batch. Click here for instructions on creating a supplemental payroll batch.

Creating a standard batch looks for all employees with a scheduled payment based on the instructional period, employee contract date range, and default period pay date. It then gets all benefit, withholding, payment, and additional allowance elections effective as of the pay date — also taking into account the tax tables and workman's compensation policy.
