Seven-Day FLSA Period with Biweekly Payroll

When you create a seven-day FLSA period definition and assign it to a pay group with biweekly pay frequency, the system:

  • Creates two paylines based on the 7-day FLSA period definition:

    • One payline for the first week.

    • One payline for the second week.

  • Divides the total amount of any additional pay between the two paylines.

  • Calculates the check as it would for an employee paid weekly.

Note: With the seven-day FLSA period definition and biweekly pay frequency setup, do not enter a salaried employee's compensation rate as an hourly rate (hourly frequency) in the Compensation Rate field on the Job Data – Compensation page. Doing so causes the system to pay minimum wage in place of the FLSA rate.
