How do I set harvester to pay employees Bi-Monthly?

To change harvester from the default pay period from monthly to Bi-Monthly or even weekly: Go to settings and then Company Settings and change the pay period from monthly to Bi-Monthly. Then change the payment interval on every employee who gets paid twice in a month to Bi-Monthly. Look for "Payment Interval" on Employee Settings to do this for each employee. (It can also be set to all employees within a department by using Department Settings). However, if you are going to import from offline excel, it is recommended you keep harvesteronline as set to the default monthly period. PAYE and NAPSA returns are all set up as monthly returns and as yet no Government provision is made for weekly or Bi-monthly returns. However if you really want to do this, please contact support@harvesteronline.net and more instructions can be given on how to prepare the Monthly ZRA and NAPSA returns for employees paid more than once within the month. A common way around this is to simply put a payment through for a two week period and print the payslips as if they were month-end payslips and then when it comes to the real month end, the full period of pay is processed and a cash deduction, called for example, "First-Period-Pay" is put through for the net-pay received by the employee in the first two week period. This way, all month-end reports are accurate and true for NAPSA and ZRA and an employee can actually receive 2 payslips within the month. Furthermore the offline payroll entry can also be used at month end as well.
