Update Period Number And Period name in Payroll Time period(Payroll Definition)

Summary:

For the weekly payrolls, as per the system generated pay dates the pay period 12/21 – 12/27 would have been paid on 1/1/2026. It was considered as the first period in 2026. But 1/1 is a holiday we have to change the pay date to 12/31/2025. This would mean that 12/21 – 12/27 pay period is paid in 2025 and should be considered as the 53rd week. We were able to update the pay date from 1/1/2026 to 12/31/2025 but the system did not update the Week number or period number.

Please see below.

The period name also did not change but there is a way to update it from front end.
