Choose when the agreed compensation starts, using an exact calendar date.

1. Open the staff compensation form

In Staff & setup → Staff pay rates, open the intended person’s rate.

2. Set the Effective date

Replace the default date if the agreement starts on another day. Check the year as well as the month and day.

Effective date belongs to the compensation record.

3. Save the agreed record

Confirm the compensation type and amount before saving. A new dated rate maintains compensation history; saving the same effective date updates that dated record.

4. Review payroll separately

If a rate changes during a pay period, confirm how the payroll provider must split the hours. The timesheet export does not supply a guaranteed prorated wage calculation.
