What a payroll calendar controls
A payroll calendar defines when actions must happen for payroll to be processed and paid on time. It controls:
When payroll inputs are due
When payroll is processed
When approval is required
When payments are made
Every payroll you see in the platform follows a calendar configured for your entity by Remote People: you can view it, but it isn't something you set up yourself.
Payroll calendars are separate for each entity and frequency. Follow each calendar’s input, processing, approval and payment milestones; Remote People configures the calendar.
Payroll cycles explained
A payroll cycle represents one complete payroll run for a specific period — for example, a single month. Each cycle:
Is linked to a specific entity and country
Follows the calendar set for that entity
Has its own fixed milestones and deadlines
If you manage more than one entity, or more than one payroll frequency, you'll see multiple payroll cycles running at once, one per entity/frequency combination.
Where to view your calendar
Go to Payroll in the platform, then select Calendar to see milestones and cycles for all your payrolls, filterable by frequency (monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly).
