Note
If employees have worked time prior to the effective date of the first workweek period, prior workweeks will be calculated using the first workweek period rules applicable to the employee. In cases where an employee joins a workweek group at a date after one or more workweek periods have already passed, the rules of past periods WILL NOT apply to the employee. Instead the first rule that applies to the employee (the rule that has the latest effective date PRIOR to the employee join date) will be carried back as far as necessary to cover all worked time. If you desire that an employee be subject to earlier rules, be sure they join the workweek at an appropriate time (prior to such rules).
Example: A workweek group has periods with the following effective dates:
An employee is hired 12/15/2009, but isn't configured in the system until 1/5/2010. The employee should join the workweek group on 12/15/2009, but is actually set to 1/5/2010, as this was the day the employee was added to the system, and the date was not changed. Work time for the employee during the last weeks of December is added by hand. The payroll engine will see that the 1/1/2010 rule applies to this employee, and will see worked time prior to the rule start on 1/1/2010. The engine will therefore extend back the rule to 12/15/2009 to cover the employee, possibly calculating overtime differently than what would be expected under the 1/1/2009 rule. If this is not desired, simply change the employee's workweek group membership date to 12/15/2009 so the previous rule can apply.
