Pay calendar
A pay frequency and its periods, deciding when a group of staff is paid.
A pay calendar sets how often a group of employees is paid, such as monthly, weekly or bi-weekly, and holds that group's pay periods. In Vintage People each calendar has its own open period and runs, and monthly salary structures are scaled for weekly and bi-weekly calendars. A pay calendar is not a salary structure: the structure decides what someone is paid, the calendar decides when.
