How do I change setting for selecting the pay period end date?

You can select the default pay period end dates for each month. Connect will use these dates to set up the next pay period end dates for the next pay period. When you close the pay period, you will have a chance to review the new pay period end dates and you can make changes to the pay period end date if it happens to fall on a weekend. 

This option will give you more control over when the pay period ends in the month. Closing a pay period will use the default pay period dates from Organization instead of using the first and last day of the month as the default pay period dates.
