Setting employee dates

In order to save the employee record, you must enter the employee’s hire date. The rehire date defaults to the hire date, but you can override it if necessary.

You can also set the optional termination date, which you update manually when necessary. When you set the Employee Status field to Terminated, you can enter a termination date to let the employee continue to log in and enter time up to that date. If you do not enter a termination date, then the employee loses access as soon as you set the status to Terminated.

If you set the Employee Status field to On Leave, then you can enter a leave of absence reason code as well as the start and end dates of the employee's leave.

1. On the Employee Details screen, click the Dates tab.

2. Enter the required hire date for the employee.
   Hint: You can enter dates manually. You can also click to the right of any date field to select a date from a calendar.

3. Enter the rehire date if applicable.

4. Enter the termination date if applicable.

5. If applicable, enter leave of absence data:

• In the LOA End Date field, enter the date when the employee returns from the leave of absence.
