Example of Loading User-Defined Date Time Definition

You can use these predefined element duration dates to control when element entries for an employee start or end.

This figure describes the various types of element duration dates.

This table provides examples on when you would use the predefined element duration dates.

Element Duration Date Type	Example
First Standard Earnings Date	Start date of the employee's record for the payroll statutory unit.
Last Standard Earnings Date	Termination date of the employee's record for the payroll statutory unit.
Last Standard Process Date	Last day of the payroll in which termination or payroll transfer occur.
Final Close Date	If a final close date is entered for an assigned payroll record, the employee will no longer be considered for processing by that specific payroll.

Using HCM Data Loader, you can load your own time definitions that define the last standard process and final close dates. For example, Vision Corp provides housing allowance to its employees and wants the allowance to end 30 days after the employee is terminated. You define a user-defined date time definition based on the last standard earnings date, which is the termination date plus 30 days.
