A pay period groups work dates for review and export. Its date range and its lock status answer different questions.

1. Read the range

In Overview, read the selected start and end dates. Entries belong to a pay period; choose the intended one before importing.

2. Check its state

Open periods can accept eligible changes. Locked or completed periods restrict changes. An ended date range may still be Open.

This example period has ended but its status is still Open.

3. Review the cadence

Under Staff & setup → Pay period settings → Edit settings, review the configured frequency, start rules and optional anchor.

4. Check the expected pay date

Pay after period is a scheduling setting. It does not schedule a transfer from Bloomily.
