HOW IT WORKS
How Payroll Calendar Keeps Cycles Aligned
From a defined pay period to a freeze date that closes it out.
Step 01
Pay Periods Are Set
Pay periods are defined using the schedules set in Statutory Configuration, giving every cycle a fixed start and end.- Periods are configured once, not redefined per cycle.
Step 02
Attendance Freezes On Schedule
An attendance freeze date closes out the attendance window that payroll will calculate against.- No late attendance edit can change a cycle after freeze.
Step 03
Variable Pay Freezes Separately
A separate variable-pay freeze date locks incentive and variable components ahead of the run.- Variable pay locks on its own schedule, not tied to attendance.
Step 04
Payslips Follow The Same Calendar
Once both freezes pass, the cycle proceeds to payroll and Payslips generates against the same period.- Every downstream module reads the same period boundaries.
WHO USES THIS
Built For Teams Like Yours
A disciplined payroll calendar matters most where shift patterns, multiple locations, or variable pay make freeze dates hard to track manually.
Manufacturing
Shift-based attendance, overtime, and plant-level reporting hierarchies.
Retail & Ecommerce
High headcount turnover, multi-location attendance, and seasonal variable pay.
Logistics & Transportation
Field staff, multi-state operations, and complex shift patterns.
FAQ
Payroll Calendar — Questions We Get Asked
Payroll Calendar is part of the Growth plan (₹149/employee/month), bundled with the full payroll suite and statutory compliance. It isn't included in the Starter plan.
The attendance freeze closes the attendance window a cycle calculates against; the variable-pay freeze locks incentive and variable components separately, on its own date.
Statutory Configuration sets the pay schedules; Payroll Calendar manages the actual periods and freeze dates built on those schedules, so both stay in sync.
Yes — Payslips generates once a cycle's freeze dates have passed and payroll runs, so the calendar determines when that cycle's payslips become available.
