The GNM accounting calendar runs from April to March and comprises 4 quarters each containing 3 periods (months) that follow a 4-4-5 week profile.
The financial years and periods need to be defined in RCS in order to determine which period payments cover, and for accruals and prepayments calculations.
The Payroll deadline is also recorded for each period so that warning messages can be displayed on the Welcome screen reminding users to get payments onto the system in advance of the deadline.
