Field help (CTR1DATCRE)

The Creation date and Period end date fields are specific to South Africa and Ghana legislations.

These dates are automatically filled by the system. They are used to know in which pay month the contract was created and terminated in order to determine the employee status for reports, that is to say if the employee is New, Active or Terminated as well as Future terminated, Current termination or Old termination (statuses used in the reports). For example, if the status is New, it means the employee and the contract have never been included in previous reports. If the status is Active, it means the employee and the contract have already been included in reports and continue to be included in reports. If the status is Terminated, it means this is the last time the employee and the contract will be included in reports.

When a new contract is created, the creation date defaults from:

• The creation date of the previous chrono-contract in the case a of new chrono-contract with the same chrono-contract number
• The end date of the pay month in the case of new chrono-contract with a new chrono-contract number

In case of patch installation, the creation date defaults from the seniority date (filled in the Seniority date field in the same block).
