How will the new system handle start and stop dating?
The HRMS solution to start and stop dating is similar to that of the current system. The current system uses one transaction to accommodate two dates: start date and stop dates. HRMS requires two transactions; each one tied to a single effective date. An example of effective dating: a person goes on a leave of absence from June 1 until July 24. In HRMS, the record will have an effective date of June 1, and will remain effective until a new effective dated activity is entered. In this example, the new activity is presumed to be a return from leave with an effective date of July 24.
