What is the difference between Effective Date, Start and End Dates, and Actual Start and End Dates in a DHRS document?
Effective Date: The date the change being processed took place. Example: In a New Hire document, the Effective Date is the date the employee was hired (physically started working in the department). In a Move document, the Effective Date will be the date the employee will start working in the new position/department. Start Date: Always the same as the Effective Date (except for Account Number Change documents). End Date: It is the date the assignment/change will end (it is usually the end of the Fiscal Year, May 31, XXXX). Actual Start Date: Only used when the change took place on a previous pay period and the system prevents you from using the correct Effective Date. It is the Actual Date the change took place. Actual End Date: Only used when the document has an Actual Start Date. It is the date the assignment/change will end (it is usually the end of the Fiscal Year, May 31, XXXX).
