Concept: Date Calculations for Payroll

You can create date calculations to cover several common payroll calculations.
Example: Find Defined Date of Current Calendar Year
To determine worker eligibility for certain bonuses, you want to find October 31st of the current calendar year based on the payment date.
  1. Access the
    Create Build Date Calculation
     task.
  2. Complete these fields:
    Year
    Month
    Day
    Year: Payment Date - Year
    10
    31
    If the payment date is 2017-05-31, the calculation resolves to 2017-10-31.
Example: Find Defined Date of Previous Calendar Year
You want to find October 31 of the previous year, based on the payment date. You've already created a build date calculation,
Date: Oct 31 of Current Year (based on Payment Date)
, that returns October 31st of the current year.
  1. Access the
    Create Date Increment/Decrement Calculation
     task.

    Start Date
