open the pay group record to add pay periods to the pay group
open the pay group to close the current pay period for the pay group
open the pay group to perform the year end rollover
delete the pay group record if the pay group is not required.

For example, %blue collar w ill return pay groups with names such as Weekly Blue Collar and Monthly Blue Collar while weekly% will return pay groups with names such as Weekly White Collar and Weekly Blue Collar.

4	If you know the end date of the last pay period in the pay cycle for the pay group, click the button next to the Validity End Date field and use the calendar control to select the relevant start date.
5	Click Search. A list of existing pay groups that match your search criterion are listed on the screen.
