You can't change an employees' pay cycle in every situation. This depends on: - The point you are at in the tax year
- What you have already processed
This is to ensure employees tax and national insurance (NI) contributions calculate correctly. The beginning of a tax year As employees won't have any year to date values yet, you can change to and from any pay cycle.  NOTE: You’ll need to create a new Pay Calendar for any pay cycles that don't yet exist. For more information, read Pay day calendar settings.
Mid tax year For new employees, you can change the pay cycle to any option as long as they haven’t been included in a pay run. For existing employees, you can move between Weekly and Monthly and vice versa. The first pay run after changing, can’t overlap with the final pay run in the old pay cycle. If it does, it will result in the employee under or over paying NI. To check this, read Tax week and tax month calendar.  CAUTION: It's not possible to move to or from a 4-weekly or 2-weekly pay cycle until the start of a new tax year.
