Identified Issues:

• Better understanding how the dates used in the Employment tab.

The dates can be found in Employee Maintenance > Employee Information > Profile.

1. Next Date and Next Review:

These fields serve as a placeholder and are primarily for information purposes. They do not directly impact accrual calculations. Employees and admins can refer to these dates for awareness, but they do not affect any automated processes within our system.

2. Hire/Re-Hire Date:

The hire date represents the day an employee officially joined an organization. It often plays a crucial role in accrual calculations, such as vacation, sick, and other time-off policies. Accurate hire dates ensure that employees receive the appropriate entitlements based on their tenure.

3. Last Raise Dates:

The last raise date can be used to reflect the most recent salary adjustment. While it typically serves as an information reference, it can also be used for accrual calculations. For instance, using a different date from the hire date can change an employee’s eligibility tenure level to receive a higher benefit. This is often used when you allow new hires to negotiate accrual amounts as if they had been with the company longer.

4. Termination Dates:

The termination date represents the day an employee officially leaves an organization. This date is used to stop accrual calculations, signal end of time worked, and prevent future holidays from awarding.

5. Effective Date and Stop Date:

The effective date and stop date are used to determine when the employment record is active. The effective date normally should have the same date as the first date in the pay period. The stop date should have the same date as the last day of the pay period.
