Using Effective Dating With the Employee Record
The SuitePeople Effective Dating feature enables you to make changes to the employee record that are effective as of a past, current, or future date. These changes represent when a particular piece of information became effective or true, regardless of when you made the change. To use the Effective Dating feature, you must be logged into NetSuite using a role that has the Employee Effective Dating permission. By default, this permission is automatically assigned to the standard Administrator, Chief People Officer (CPO), and HR Generalist roles. This permission also gives you access to the employee timeline from the employee record. For more information, see Viewing an Employee’s Timeline.
The Effective Dating feature lets you can view, edit, and search for effective-dated changes. For more information, see the following help topics:

Many fields on the employee record are supported by effective dating, but others are not. When you view an employee record, fields that are not supported are labeled Not Effective-Dated.
If you disable this feature after using it, back-dated or future-dated changes you made are lost. Only the current state of the employee records is kept.
Inline editing is disabled when the Effective Dating feature is enabled.
