Effective Dates in Time Entry

For pay types in time entry, the system uses the date that the employee enters on the timecard as the effective date. When employees enter work dates that are different than the current time period, the system uses the pay rates that were current when the employee performed the work. When pay rates change during a payroll period, the system evaluates the pay rate based on the dates that the employee enters.

Administrators can also enter From and Through dates in time entry applications so that the system calculates pay based on the time frame when the work was performed. When they enter a summary timecard for a total number of hours worked, they establish the actual days worked and the effective dates for the pay cycle. During the payroll process, the system splits information from summary timecards into multiple timecards and retrieves rate information that is based on each timecard's work dates.
