A **pay schedule** defines how often you pay employees and which day they are paid. Once you save it, Zoho Payroll generates each regular pay run on time.

**Warning:** Your pay schedule cannot be edited once you process the first pay run, including the pay day, so set it up carefully.

## Configure your pay schedule from Getting Started

1.  On the **Getting Started** page, click **Complete Now** next to **Configure your pay schedule**.
2.  Choose how often you pay employees: **Every Week**, **Fortnightly**, or **Every Month**.
3.  Set the payday and your first pay run dates.
4.  Click **Save**.

For the full options, and how to view or update the schedule before your first pay run, refer to [Pay Schedule](/uk/payroll/help/employer/settings/pay-schedule.html).
