Stop Day Rule
You can configure workday definitions to use the Stop day spanning days rule on classic, responsive, and enhanced time card entries that span midnight.
With this rule, the earned and reference dates for the entry are the stop date of the entry. For grouped time entries, it's the stop date of the newest time entry in the group.
Entry Spans 2 Periods
An entry can start on the last day of a time card period, and end on the first day of the next period. When this happens, the entry appears on the time card with the time card period that includes the entry start date. The entry also gets processed as part of that time card period.
Here's an example with the time card periods April 5 to 11 and 12 to 18.
| Time Card Period | Date | Reported Time | After Applying Workday Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 5 to 11 | April 11 | 10:30p | 10:30p to 6:30a |
| April 12 to 18 | April 12 | 6:30a | NA |
The entry starts on April 11 at 10:30p and stops on April 12 at 6:30a. So, it appears on the April 5 to 11 time card and gets processed as part of that time card period.
When the time card, absence accrual, and pay periods are the same, the entry accrues and gets paid in the period that includes the entry stop date. So in this example, the entry accrues and gets paid as part of the April 12 to 18 period.
