If you wish to have a new payroll cycle (for example, a Bonus cycle or an Advance Pay cycle), you need to create from the payroll center Setting's section.


This creation of new payroll cycle allows you to process a separate salary cycle from your main one. 

It acts as a "template" whenever you want to use this additional cycle and you do not necessarily have to use every month depending on how you process your company's payroll.
