Change an employee's pay frequency

To change an employee's pay frequency, you need to move them to a payroll of their new pay frequency. The best time to do this is at the beginning of the tax year, before you start processing their pay.

 TIP: Find out more in our handy guide on Changing Payroll Frequency at the start of a new tax year. 

You can also carry out this process during the tax year if required. Let's take a look at how to do this.

NOTE:  If the employee's moving from one company to another, use our handy guide to Transfer an employee mid-year from one company payroll to another.
