Calendar configuration

Define your team's working schedule and leave year — the foundation of time logging and leave management.

Your workspace calendar is the foundation of time logging and leave management in Trellis. It defines when your team works, how their leave is measured, and when the leave year rolls over. These settings feed into every timesheet, resourcing allocation, and absence request across the workspace.

Overview of the Calendar configuration page.

Setting up your calendar

Choose the working days your team is contracted to work, then set your start and end hours. These define what Trellis treats as a working day when calculating time logs, leave duration, and resource availability.

Note

If you allow half-day leave, split the day into a first half and second half so members can book either. These spans are also what powers the Allow half days setting on absence types. Without them defined here, that toggle in Absence types stays disabled.

Leave calendar settings

Tip

Leave calendar settings are part of HR — an Enterprise-plan feature that an Owner or Admin can also switch off under Settings → Workspace → Features. Unlike the HR pages themselves, this page stays reachable either way: your working days, hours, and half-day spans above are available whatever your plan, and it's this section and the Danger zone below that disappear when HR is off.

Set when your leave year starts (a month + day, e.g. 1 January or 6 April) and your workspace timezone. Together they determine when leave balances reset and how leave times are interpreted for members across regions.

Warning

Once any member of your workspace has been allocated leave, this section locks itself to protect existing balances. If you genuinely need to reconfigure the leave calendar mid-year, use Remove all allocations in the Danger zone below to clear existing balances first.

Danger zone

Remove all allocations permanently deletes every leave allocation for the current leave period across all workspace members. Their used, approved, and pending leave history is preserved, but their remaining balances are wiped and you'll need to reallocate everything from Allocation afterwards.

Only do this if you genuinely need to reset the calendar (e.g. changing your leave-year start after members have already been allocated). It can't be undone.

Access to Calendar configuration is restricted to Owners and Admins. Everyone else in the workspace feels the effects — their timesheets, leave requests, resourcing views, and half-day options all follow the settings defined here — but they can't change them. The working schedule is available to Owners and Admins on every plan; the leave calendar settings and the Danger zone come with HR, so they only appear on Enterprise.
