If yes, then export an ad hoc report of type "Person and Employment Export". Check if employees are having start date of Job Information record as 14-04-2017 and end date as 13-04-2017 (since the error log mentions the same). This is invalid as end date should be always after start date.

  1. If you have found employees with such inconsistency, then either delete the record and create again or perform a Job History import in incremental mode for the record which is having the inconsistency to correct the end date.

OR:

  1. Go to Admin Center > Check tool 
  2. Select Employee Central Core
  3. Select Job Information
  4. Run the check for "All Job Information records have consistent end dates" (JobInfoInconsistentEndDateCheck)
  5. Click at "Result" (the results list contains the user in question) and fix the issue with Quick Fix.
  6. Afterwards, you can rerun the calendars and they should not fail anymore.
