Probably, edit the payroll schedule and change it to weekly.

Thank you for the reply.   I'm not sure how it would payroll taxes and liabilities that I pay bi-weekly - I'm guessing I would also have to update garnishments, health insurance deductions, Simple IRA deductions, etc.

Unless you are a large employer and are required to remit withheld taxes after each payroll, your payroll period frequency isn't tied to your payment period frequency.

 

However, if you have requirements to make (for example) a health insurance deduction for each month a specific amount, and you had that set up before, you will likely need to adjust the amount withheld on each check by editing the employee records and updating the deduction - and other similar ones.
