Error: Start date after pay period end date

Issue

The employee's primary position has a start date that occurs after the pay period end date.

Explanation

This issue can occur when one or more of the following conditions exist:

  • The employee's start date or hire date is after the pay period end date.
  • The employee does not have any current payroll exceptions.
  • The employee has payroll exceptions for the pay period, but the option to create a paycheck for the employee was declined during payroll processing.

When these conditions are present, Connect cannot create a paycheck because the employee is not considered active during the pay period being processed.


Resolution

Verify that the employee and payroll dates are correct.


Check the Pay Period End Date

  1. Open Calculate Payroll.
  2. Verify that the Pay Period End Date is correct for the payroll being processed.

Check the Employee Start Date

  1. Open Modify Existing Employees.
  2. Review the employee's Start Date or Hire Date.
  3. Confirm that the date occurs on or before the pay period end date.
  4. If necessary, update the date and save the employee record.

After correcting the date information, recalculate payroll.
