Payroll cycle configuration

Turn payroll timing into a clear, reusable operating rule.

Kalzeo lets payroll administrators define the core rules that determine when a payroll cycle starts, which attendance period it uses, when inputs are cut off and when payment is scheduled.

Payroll Frequency

Configure the payroll frequency used by the calendar so the processing cycle follows the organisation's required pattern.

Attendance Period Rules

Define how the attendance start and end of the payroll period are determined, including supported fixed-day and payroll-rule options.

Cut-Off Rules

Set the payroll cutoff rule and day so the calendar can control when payroll inputs should be considered complete.

Payment Rules

Configure the payment rule and payment day or offset used by the payroll calendar.

Effective Dates & Status

Maintain the calendar with an effective-from date and supported lifecycle states including draft, active, inactive and archived.

Calendar Assignment

Assign an active payroll calendar at company, site, department or employee level according to the required operating scope.

Payroll Calendar ConfigurationDefine payroll frequency, attendance rules, cutoff timing, payment rules and calendar status in one controlled setup.
Define the payroll cycle

Configure the timing rules that payroll processing depends on.

The payroll calendar provides the rule set that sits behind the payroll period. It brings attendance-window, cutoff and payment timing into one calendar definition instead of relying on separate manual notes or assumptions.

Define a calendar code, name, payroll frequency, effective date and status.
Configure attendance start and end rules used by the payroll cycle.
Configure payroll cutoff and payment rules, including supported day or offset settings.

Calendar assignments

Apply the right payroll calendar to the right part of the workforce.

Kalzeo supports payroll calendar assignment at multiple levels so a company can keep a general payroll calendar while using more specific calendars where a site, department or employee requires a different cycle.

Assign an active calendar company-wide when one standard payroll cycle applies.
Use site or department assignments where operating groups require a more specific calendar.
Use employee assignments for the most specific supported calendar scope.
Payroll Calendar AssignmentsAssign an active payroll calendar to company, site, department or employee scope with effective-period control.
Calendar resolution

Support a general payroll calendar with more specific workforce-level assignments.
