Senegal: Why would the periods worked round to a full period without the company setting being activated?

An option is available for companies to use a full period in the tax calculation for employee records which are engaged or terminated mid month, and where no pro ration calculation should be applied.

      

A further option is available on employee level which can cater to the same logic for isolated employee records.

      Navigate to Employee > Basic information > Tax Profile

      

In a scenario where the company does apply a pro rated calculation for mid month engagements and terminations, but a specific employee record calculation is using a full period, users are advised to confirm if the above selection on the employee tax profile screen is active, as the option will apply the logic for the employee record in isolation to use a full period worked instead of a pro ration calculation.
