Small change to FormPayPeriods.cs proposed

Post by mowgli » Wed Sep 02, 2009 11:37 pm

Currently, Open Dental adds pay periods in 15-day chunks, because the first day is already added to the end date of the last period, then an additional 14 days are added. This is handy only for semi-monthly paychecks and only for the 4 months of the year that are exactly 30 days. If the days added are changed to 13 instead, then added pay periods will always work out correctly for biweekly paychecks without having to be edited. Of course, if other practices are set on semi-monthly and don't like the change, we could just alter our own distribution of the program.

I would add a payperiod default rules setup form, along with a multiple period add tool.

It's an existing feature request that should be implemented elegantly rather than treated like a pet feature. This annoyance might seem like a big deal, but it really only takes a few minutes to add many months worth of pay periods, regardless of how automated it is.
