Creating and Assigning Pay Periods

Set up your pay periods in Canopy

CanopyWS users can create new pay periods, as well as assign them to employees. This helps track your payroll and time all in one place.

To view the pay periods table, click the Pay Periods button in the Administration tab.

This table shows all created pay periods. These periods can be edited and removed. But for this example, let’s make a new one by clicking Add.

When creating the pay period, there are two steps. First, give the pay period a code (2 letters or numbers), start date, and type. You can also choose to have the next pay schedule in the period auto-populate.

Then hit the Calculate Pay Period Days.

The rest of the fields will auto-populate. Once you have confirmed the information is correct, click Save.

The pay period can now be assigned when adding a new hire.
