Frequency is an optional, 16-character alphanumeric field that indicates how often, or for what types of pay, the transaction line will be created. The term “frequency” is used to control the timing of payroll deductions, benefits, and earnings. Frequencies are defined during Payroll training and once created may be accessed by the LOV.

‘Frequency’ is only applicable to the “Prem per Period” and “UPTG Period Premium” calculation method. However, if either of those methods are used, frequency is REQUIRED.
