Time record date

The date assigned to each time record serves several important functions. The time record date determines the following:

  • Work period and pay period for the time record hours and wages

  • Appropriate rate of pay

  • Time and Attendance edits

  • Selection for processing in the payroll cycle

  • Posting of general ledger entries to multiple general ledger periods based on the time record date
