  1. Payment Schedule is configured (Settings → Classroom Settings → Payment Schedule)
  2. Students are actively assigned to jobs
  3. Current time matches scheduled payment time
  4. Bi-weekly frequency requires reference date setup
Check:
  1. Student is assigned to an active job
  2. Assignment start date is in the past
  3. Job frequency matches classroom schedule
  4. Student hasn’t been removed from job
If this happens:
  1. Check transaction history for actual duplicates
  2. Manual undo if necessary
  3. Report to support - may indicate timing issue
