You can end a performance cycle before launching a calibration event—but it can’t be ended mid‑day.
Performance cycles always end automatically at 23:59 GMT on the cycle’s end date. This timing can’t be changed or manually triggered. Because of this, you won’t be able to end a cycle over lunch and launch calibration right after.
If you want managers to avoid confusion, the best approach is to set the performance cycle to end the day before calibration begins. Once the cycle is in Running or Ended/Closed status, you can use it for calibration.
Keep in mind:
A calibration event can’t be ended and then relaunched later.
After a calibration event ends, any additional adjustments must be made directly in the performance cycle.
