You'll need to configure the pay schedule of your employee to choose between weekly and fortnightly, admin249. Let me outline the steps below.

 

A Payroll subscription is necessary to enter your staff and pay for their TFN. If you haven't enabled this feature, you can do so to enter payroll details or manage employee payments. Here's how to do that:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and fill in the Business Details and Contact Details.
  2. On the Payroll Details, choose the payment frequency (Weekly or Fortnightly), then Sign up.
  3. Click Add employee.
  4. Decide whether you prefer them to complete the setup themselves or if you'd like to enter the information manually, then Continue.

 

Alternatively, you can navigate to the Employees page to register your staff if the Payroll feature is already active. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Select Payroll on the left panel.
  2. On the Employees page, click Add Employee.
  3. Determine whether you want to input them manually or have them Self Setup, then Continue.
  4. After adding Personal details, pick either Weekly or Fortnightly under the Pay Schedule in the Employment details.
  5. Click Next, then ensure to tick the Tax file number.
  6. Follow the onscreen steps to complete the setup.

 

Once done, create and finalise a pay run to lock the payroll data and make it visible to employees and reports.

 

Lastly, generate a Pay Run Audit Report to view bank payments and super payments you need to pay for that pay run.
