Amend an employee's start date

You can amend an employee's start date, when it’s been entered incorrectly, or when you need to correct it for a new starter, so everything calculates from the right date.

It’s important to amend an employee's start date because the start date can affect things like holiday entitlement and reporting, so getting it right helps keep leave stats accurate.

A couple of key things to watch:

  • If you change the employment start date, you also need to amend the effective start date on their salary line in Payroll so pay matches the new start date.

  • If a start date is set earlier than a previous post’s end date, the system can treat it as a previous position and the employment may show as terminated, so you’ll need to check all start and end dates line up correctly.

You can amend the start date for a new starter, if you follow the below steps:

  1. Search for the employee using the organisation search then click into it.

  2. On the left, click Admin then click again Admin.

  3. Click Modify Start Date and input the correct start date.

  4. Click Save.
