Calendars

To run a payroll or absence process, the relevant components of the system are linked together through the use of calendars. A calendar controls who is to be paid, what amounts are to be paid, and the period of time for which the payment is being made.

Only one pay group can be associated with a calendar. Through the use of various selection criteria, you can define who is going to be paid:

• Calendar run types enable you to define what is being paid.

• Calendar period IDs define the period of time for which the payment is being paid.

• Calendar group ID groups the calendars that you want to process at the same time.

This diagram shows how calendars tie together the components of a payroll or absence run.
