Vacation Calendars

Absence is managed on a periodic basis.

Each employee is assigned a vacation calendar (global or company-specific) which defines periods (calendar years from January to December, or other periods, such as fiscal periods, running from the beginning of May to the end of the following April) where absence accounting takes place. At any time before or during a period, a “year-end” process can be performed or adjusted, granting, in batch mode, an initial allowance to employees and transferring days from the previous period to the next one. Balance can also be imported using standard Maconomy import functionality.

Vacation calendars are used to define periods in which absence can be booked. A vacation period can correspond to a calendar year (such as from January to December) or cover an arbitrary period (such as the beginning of May to end of following April), depending on how vacation is managed in a given company. A vacation calendar can be global or company-specific.

Vacation calendars also hold certain settings which determine how allowance and booking will be handled. These are defined for each period separately.

Use the Vacation Calendars tab to add or modify existing vacation calendars.
