Frequency IDs

Frequency IDs are used in PeopleSoft Human Resources, Global Payroll, and Payroll for North America. Frequency IDs are defined on the Frequency Table component (FREQUENCY_TBL). Each frequency ID has a frequency type and an associated annualization factor that represents the number of times that the period occurs in the course of a year.

In PeopleSoft HCM, you use frequency IDs to define the periods of time in which compensation is quoted, standard hours are completed, and people are paid, to list a few examples.

PeopleSoft delivers a set of standard frequencies that are PeopleSoft-maintained. You can define additional, customer-maintained frequencies for nonstandard periods. For example, you could define a monthly-type frequency with a nonstandard annualization factor of 13 to represent 13 monthly periods in a year
