Calendar Cycles

Use the Calendar Cycles page to add, update, delete, search, and print calendar cycle records for Human Resources. Calendar cycles are lookup codes that group calendars and support future pay rate effective dates. This page allows users to define the effective date that the system uses when rolling positions to a new fiscal year (and for future position and pay rate effective dates when configured). The data entered on this page is used by Position Control when creating new-year positions; if you do not set up calendar cycles, the system uses the fiscal year start date.

Calendar cycles that are assigned to calendars cannot be deleted until those calendars are changed or removed.

From the Human Resources menu, select Reference Tables. From the Payroll menu, select Calendar Cycles.
