Maintaining Employee Accounts

When you run periodic processing, the results are stored in a permanent employee account history. You use the history in multiple ways:

For employee inquiry. You can look up information without having to run a calculation first.
For calculations. When you run a calculation, the system copies all the periods in periodic processing, then uses the ones prior to the event date when calculating the final event date balance.

Important! If you use periodic processing to update the employee account beyond the event date, the calculation may have unexpected results. Control your periodic processing population to avoid processing employees after termination.
