Academic Calendar Setup

Updated on

Overview

This job aid shows campuses how to set up an academic calendar in CHRS. Calendars link components within the system to determine whom and what to process for which pay periods.

Guidelines

  • Calendars follow a specific naming convention to ensure standardization within CHRS.
  • There must always be 12 calendars for each pay group, so all periods must be used.  
  • When creating a calendar, each tab has a unique purpose.
    • The Definition Tab links together the pay group, period ID, run Type ID, target calendar ID, and payee selection criteria.
    • The Generation Control Tab is responsible for overriding generation control frequencies for a calendar.
    • The Supporting Elements Overrides Tab is responsible for overriding the value of a bracket, date, duration, formula, or variable element associated with a calendar.
    • The Excluded Elements Tab uses to exclude earnings, deductions, take, or entitlement elements from a calendar.
