Menu Group: File Maintenance
This screen allows you to enter the different dates that apply to the employee. When entering a new employee the dates will be defaulted to the date of entry. You may change the value of these fields as necessary.
The Vacation Date is used to calculate the vacation entitlement and can be different than the seniority date. The same is true for the Benefit Date. The system will use either the Start Date, Seniority Date, or Vacation Date when accruing vacation and the Start Date, Seniority Date, or the Benefit Date when accruing sick pay. The Vacation/Sick Settings will be used to determine which date to use.
The Cut-off date can be used where you want to post transactions for an employee past the date where they would normally be paid. For example if the cut-off date is a Friday Jan 17, then you can post transactions for time worked after Jan 17 without those transactions being considered for payment in the current pay run.
The Superannuation date is used for those jurisdictions that mandate a superannuation program. This date will represent the starting point for the employee and employer deduction or benefit.
The active switch is used to inactivate an employee. If an employee is inactive then their pay will not be processed until they are active. You can also inactivate an employee for a range of pay periods using the INACTIVE switch. Click on the General Switch folder below to see how this can be maintained.
A reason code can be for terminated employees. Reason codes are created/maintained in the System table; table code hr-reason
