You want to define the specific period for which attendance is tracked and salaries are processed. Setting the attendance cycle helps align payroll calculations with your company’s working calendar.

Key Points about the Attendance Cycle:

  • Default Setting: Usually set as 1st to 30th/31st of each month.

  • Customizable: Admins can change the cycle based on company policies (e.g., 26th of the previous month to 25th of the current month).

  • Used For:

    • Payroll calculation

    • Leave and attendance reports

    • Penalty and overtime tracking

​

Example:

If your attendance cycle is set from 26th to 25th, then the salary for May will be calculated based on attendance from April 26th to May 25th.
