Salary Codes

• An "Effective Date" or "as of date" is the date when something is considered to be effective. This may be different from the date upon which the event actually occurred or has been recorded.
• The Effective Dated Toolbar allows you to view and select effective dated records available. Selecting a particular date refreshes the screen to display all records based on the chosen date.
• Editing Effective Dated Records is done via the Change button.

• Deleting the first record of a set of Effective Dated Salary Codes is not allowed. If the last record is the one being deleted, the prior record will be extended over the period of time the record being deleted is meant to be effective.

• To create a NEW record before the first record, you need to click the Change button on the Toolbar while you are in any existing record. The date to be displayed, by default when looking at the current record, is today's date. Adjust the From date of the first record to have a date prior to it. The To date of this new record will be set to 'From date of the next record - 1 day'.

• If the record selected is the LAST one, the Change button is clicked, and the From and To dates have been changed to assign future dates past the last record To date, then the current last record 's To date will be adjusted to become 'From date of the new record - 1 day'. The new record is created with the given From and To dates

• If the case is that the selected record is the LAST one, and both From and To dates have been changed, but the given From date is prior to the last record's From date, then the adjusted To date needs will be ignored, and defaulted to become 'From date of the next record - 1 day'.
