What is Payroll Cycle?

The recurring schedule on which employees are paid, typically weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly, determining when wages are calculated and distributed.

Why it matters in hiring

Payroll Cycle comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
