How to update the default pay period in OMS
At the beginning of each new year users will want to update the default pay period in OMS. The reason this is important is that OMS will use the default pay period when displaying allowance amounts onscreen and also be the default rates used in reports. Until the OMS users update a pay period to the new one, they will have to select the correct pay period every time they run an allowance report.Â
