Calendar

Before pay cycles are created, salary change transactions pro-rated and before leave can be processed, the Calendar must be set up and holidays flagged. The system will process leave based on the calendar days, either including or excluding holidays and weekends (as specified in Leave Types). 

The Calendar can be created either manually or automatically. The latter is done via a task in the scheduler in the Leave module.

While setting up the Calendar is a one-time task, flagging of holidays must be reviewed and edited as required each year as the dates for some holidays do change on a yearly basis. If it is setup once on the application for example in the Payroll module, it is not required to be setup again in another module e.g. Leave module.

Prior to setting up the calendar on HRplus for the first time, one should review the pay cycles to be created (If the Payroll Module is being used) and then it can be determined which calendar years must be created. For some countries, the pay year does not necessarily run from January to December. For some countries the tax year is from April to March, and therefore the pay year and therefore the pay cycles must be setup to match this. So this information will inform the decision as to which calendar years must be created, so that it is available for the pay cycles to be generated correctly.
