Use the Calendar tab to define calendars that will then be linked to master positions and used to determine the contract days for the positions. You define calendars by designating work and non-work days within an accounting cycle — usually a fiscal year.
Calendars are accounting cycle specific.
You can define as many calendars as necessary because different jobs/addendum may have different work and non-work days — for example, administrators may have more work days than teachers.
When a calendar is tied to a job/addenda the Total Contract Days figure for the job/addendum equals the number of working days in the calendar that fall within the job begin and end date range.
Once you are satisfied with a calendar, it can be associated with positions templates in Master Position Management.
A calendar is in the New state after it's been saved and before it's been associated with a master position.
The calendar becomes Inactive once a master position is associated with a calendar.
It becomes Active once the associated master position is assigned to an employee.
If the accrual accounting method has been selected in the Chart of Accounts > Accounting Cycle window, contract days are used to calculate expenditures (Expenditure = (Salary divided by Total Contract Days) x contract days in the payroll period). Distributions are based on the payable days, which are established with the payroll cycle.
