====== Defining the Payroll Calendar ======
The <fc #4682b4>Team Planning</fc> is based on the Payroll Calendar. Any changes made in the calendar after having generated the plannings imply manual modification of the concerned plannings.

The "fortnights" section above divides the months into groups of "2-weeks", called Fortnights.

====== Additional Information ======

{{skb:info.png}} If changes have been done manually in the payroll calendar, Sicorax Payroll needs to recalculate the weeks and fortnights (optional). This is done by clicking on the "Update Weeks" button.


{{skb:info.png}} The "Fortnights" section is used mainly when we are dealing with fortnight overtimes calculation. So, changes made in the payroll calendar will necessitate the recalculation of fortnights.


{{skb:info.png}} When changing dates in the payroll calendar, the Start and End dates must not overlap
