There is a global setting on the system named Enable Payroll Period Overlap Check. If this is set to true, the system will not allow any employees to book holidays or sicknesses which span over a payroll period. Changing this setting to false will allow employees to add absences that span over a payroll period.
To find the setting, follow these steps:
Click on Configuration or Admin menu.
Click on Settings and then Module Settings.
Click Global Settings and then search Enable Payroll Period Overlap Check in search and click on it.
A dialog box will open.
You can now change the setting between True and False.
📌Note: If the system should check for the absence overlapping two payroll periods, then two separate records will need to be created for each period.
