Can you adjust the pay period when pay is monthly but the pay date varies each month...ie, some months there are 4 weeks and some are 5 weeks?

Hello there, treasurer.

I understand the importance of modifying the pay period when running payroll.

In QuickBooks Online Payroll, setting the beginning of the pay period is unavailable when the monthly pay frequency is selected. This limitation might lead to discrepancies in accounting for pay periods that consist of different numbers of weeks.
