Employee Online Dates

Begin and end dates are not shown to the employee when they make a change request.  Employee Online uses the date time value from the web server to understand the current date.  Given the current date and the information from common code PYPR/CYCLExx, EO is able to construct a timeline of standard period begin and end dates.

An occurrence of common code PYPR/CYCLExx is set up for each payroll cycle.  Given that information, EO is able to figure out the standard Pay Period numbers and the cutoff date for requests.  The cutoff date is determined using the value in Associated Numeric Value 1, which represents the number of days prior to the paycheck when cutoff for changes will occur.

The important concept to convey to employees is that of the cutoff date for requests. Requests made prior to the cutoff will apply to one pay period. Requests made after the cutoff will apply to the next pay period.

Dates that appear in the card headers represent the check dates, not pay period dates.
