To allow employees to add absences spanning over a payroll period when you want employees to be able to book a single holiday or sickness that runs across two payroll periods (for example, starting on the last day of one period and ending in the next.
By default, the system blocks that and you’ll see an error like 'Cannot add/edit absence as it spans over a payroll period'.
To allow it, set Enable Payroll Period Overlap Check to False as True blocks it, False allows it.
📌Note: if you keep the check enabled, the workaround is to split the absence into two records (one per payroll period).
To find this setting follow the steps below:
Click Configuration.
Click Settings and then System Settings.
Click Global and search for Enable Payroll Period Overlap Check.
Change the setting:
True: Employees can't book holidays or sicknesses which span over a payroll period
False: Employees can add absences that span over a payroll period.
