payrollFrequency
| Synopsis | How often the employer pays their contributions to us. |
| Where used | /accounts/{accountId} response |
For almost all admin accounts the payrollFrequency will be the same as the prpFrequency. Employers have a deadline of the 22nd day of the month following deduction to send the contributions. They can pay earlier than this if they wish to.
However we do have a small number of legacy accounts where payroll is run and contribution details submitted to us weekly, but we collect the weekly contribution details together. The employer pays their employees weekly and then pays the total contributions to us monthly.
For these accounts prpFrequency will be Weekly and payrollFrequency will be Monthly. To support these accounts in your application you should submit contributions to us on a weekly basis as for any other account where prpFrequency is Weekly.
