My Assistant Pay-stubs with Bi-Monthly payroll.

SOLVED

We are going to be changing our pay periods from weekly to Bi-Monthly and was curious if anyone had come up with a way to use My Assistant to still automatically send the stubs when the date will vary each month depending on weekends.  If the pay day falls on a weekend it gets pushed up or back a day depending on whether it is Saturday or Sunday.  Unfortunately I do not have the My Assistant Designer in front of me as the CFO has it on his machine but going from memory I do not remember an other way to automate other than on a date that stays the same week to week or month to month?

    If I'm not mistaken, you can add two scheduled dates. You set each date to run monthly but make sure it runs after the payroll as processed. Or, you can run it On Demand. That means someone has to manually get the task to run twice a month.

    The condition on the task is what matters for the dates. Mine is conditioned to run for any PE date greater than the current date minus 7. Since mine runs on Friday, it will print for the prior Sunday PE date. If you do biweekly, you can set it to run for any PE date greater than current date minus 14 or 16 or any number that makes sure it only picks up the last PE date.

    Hope that makes sense!

    Thanks, that's an interesting way to look at it and what I was looking for with my question.  It would be handy if there was a way to set it to run Current Date Plus two after payroll has been posted but did not remember that ability.  But the thought process of two dates will be something I will explore..  Just trying to avoid it running before the money gets put into peoples accounts so some procedural thoughts will be needed on our end.
