Vacation Calendars Workspace

Use this workspace to set up vacation calendars and vacation periods.

Absence is managed on a periodic basis. Each employee is assigned a vacation calendar which defines periods where absence accounting takes place. At any time before or during a period, you can perform a batch-mode, year-end process to adjust or grant an initial allowance to employees and transfer days from the previous period to the next one. You can also import balances 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 a fiscal period that runs from 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 are handled. These are defined for each period separately.

Use the Vacation Calendars tab to add or modify existing vacation calendars, including adding the availability of different absence types.

Use the Vacation Period tab to add or modify existing vacation periods that are used in the calendars, such as setting period start and end dates.
