The Payroll Calendar Feed feature lets you sync payroll events with external calendars like Google Calendar or Outlook. This allows employees to view company events, such as leave requests and birthdays, in one place. Simply generate a calendar feed, copy the link into your preferred calendar, and update or remove it as needed.
Helpful Hint
When you connect to the calendar feed, it will show future events only.

Further information
To provide our users with the best possible performance without comprising our platform speed and quality, we cache each calendar feed. This means it is not a real-time feed, but a delayed view. Also, several internet calendar providers such as Google Calendar and Outlook Live/ Hotmail, will also cache our calendar feeds, causing further delays to the data displayed.
