Interactions with Job Data

The effective date on the Job Data - Work Location page, together with the action that you select, determines whether the system processes an employee during a payroll run.

The effective date on an employee's Job record represents the first day that a change takes place. For example, if an employee has a Job record with an action of termination and an effective date of January 15, 2002, then January 15, 2002 represents the first day that the employee is no longer working. Therefore, the system does not pay the employee for that day.

Note:

(USF) PeopleSoft HR for U.S. federal government accommodates statutory and regulatory requirements. Personnel actions that begin new stages of employment (hire, promotion, reassignment, transfer, disciplinary action, and pay rate changes) are effective at the beginning of the business day. Personnel actions such as removal and termination are effective at the end of the business day.

The following tables illustrate examples of how the system uses the effective dates from the job data:
