Since a position can change over time (status, job code,etc.), the effective date on the add person should be the same as the effective date of the position the person will be hired into. In other words, the effective date on the add person will control which occurrence of the position is picked up and thus what status the hire/rehire is given.

Actual Start and End Dates must be used when the change being processed took place in a previous pay period and the system prevents you from using the correct effective date.

Example: You are processing a Salary Change document for an exempt employee. The Effective Date is January 1, 2010, but the document is being submitted on February 10, 2010 (after the fact). If DHRS does not allow you to input January 1, 2010 as the Effective Date, input February 1, 2010 (beginning of current pay period) as the Effective Date and Start Date of the assignment. Actual Start Date will be January 1, 2010.

[Back to Top]

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).

Assignment Amount: This amount comes from the budget system.  For hourly-paid employees the hourly rate is multiplied by 26.1 pay periods or 1957.5 hours (for job code H) or 2088 hours (for job code K).  For monthly employees the monthly or pay period amount is multiplied by 12 pay periods. 

Annualized Amount: This amount is calculated using pay rate amount and number of pay periods in the year.  For hourly-paid employees the hourly rate is multiplied by 26 pay periods or 1950 hours (for job code H) or 2080 hours (for job code K).  For monthly employees the monthly or pay period amount is multiplied by 12 pay periods.
