This field automatically defaults based on the setting of the Pay Period field. If the Pay Period field is set to either W-Weekly or B-Biweekly, you can change the default to either 53 or 27, respectively. This enables proper calculation of payroll deduction and liability amounts in cases where an additional weekly or bi-weekly pay period occurs in the current year, based on pay period ending dates. For accurate calculations, you must update this field on an annual basis to match the actual number of pay periods.

The following table displays the defaults and additional allowed values for this field.
