Your pay schedule from your last cheque

Enter how often you’re paid and your last payday, and Paycheq works out your whole pay schedule.

What to enter

During setup, the Your last cheque screen asks for two things:

1. Pay frequency: weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly.
2. Last payday: the date of your most recent cheque.

Under them, Paycheq shows what it worked out, for example: “Your last cheque covered Sun Oct 18 to Sat Oct 31. Your next payday is Fri Nov 20.” Check that it matches your pay stub, then tap Continue.

How Paycheq works it out

A cheque pays the last pay period that ended on or before payday.

• Weekly and every two weeks: pay periods run Sunday to Saturday, so a period ends on the Saturday on or before payday.
• Twice a month: periods run from the 1st to the 15th, and from the 16th to the end of the month.
• Monthly: periods are calendar months.

Example: paid every two weeks, with a last payday of Friday, Nov 6. The cheque covers Sunday, Oct 18 to Saturday, Oct 31. The next payday is Friday, Nov 20.

Changing your pay schedule later

1. Go to Jobs and tap your job.
2. Under Pay schedule, set Pay frequency and Last payday.
3. Tap Save.

Under Pay schedule, Paycheq shows the days your last cheque covered and your next payday.

If that doesn’t match your stub, change A pay period started on or Paid _ days after a period ends in the same place. Setup fills these in for you, so you only need them if your pay periods start on a day other than Sunday, or your cheque pays an earlier period.
