What are pay cycles?

Pay Cycles (definition)

Pay Cycles determine groups of employees to be paid at the same time each pay period. For example, you might have ten employees on a weekly Pay Cycle, and five employees on a fortnightly Pay Cycle. 

Weekly Pay Cycles are the most common in payroll processing, but it depends on your business needs. This chart represents the pay frequency of PayHero users:
