Zeal Reporting Periods describe the date range that an employee should be paid for. Zeal creates reporting periods for every possible date range for the pay schedules of employees. See Pay Frequency, Reporting Periods, and Check Dates for more information.

You can use the Reporting Periods endpoints to find the right Zeal Reporting Period and reportingPeriodID and attach it to an Employee Check
