Transmittals - Pay period

In transmittals, the pay period refers to the specific range of dates during which employees performed work or earned wages that are being processed for payment.

 

 

Key points: 

• Timeframe. It could be monthly, quarterly, annually, and so on. 

• Purpose. Identifies the span of days for which the transmittal calculation is being made. 

 

In a payroll transmittal (often sent to a health insurance or benefit provider), the pay period helps ensure the correct wages, taxes, and deductions are calculated and reported for the right time span.
