Summary

Use this tab to enter the date range for a Period PTD. For example, if the first date range for a weekly pay is 27/03/2020 to 02/04/2020, then the next weekly pay would be 03/04/2020 to 09/04/2020.

Fields

Date from:

Start date of the Period PTD.

Date to:

End date of the Period PTD.

Payment date:

In Australia and New Zealand, taxation legislation requires the exact determination of the tax period or year for each pay sequence is based on the date that the employee is paid. This information is also required for reporting purposes.

In Australian and NZ databases, the Payment date will determine the taxation rules for the pay sequence (unless overridden).

In Fiji:

• Payment date is an optional field, and the default value is the Period End date.
• PayGlobal will use the Period End date to determine taxation rules for the pay sequence (unless overridden). However, PayGlobal will prompt you to select the correct taxation rules when the Payment date is outside the associated YTD date range.
• The Payment date can be used to record the actual date of payment of the pay, and it can be used in reports.

PayGlobal does not validate the Payment date value that you enter in the Period PTD record and you can always edit it.

Model record

When you model a Period PTD record, you can now define parameters for Payment dates. The Model Period form contains the following fields for Payment dates:

Payment date is:

Determines when the Payment date occurs relative to the Period dates:

• After Period End Date (default)
• After Period Start Date

Days:

Determines how many days after the Period Start or End Date the Payment date occurs. You can enter positive or negative values. The Period Start Date and the Period End Date are treated as Day 0.

Default value is 0 (zero), which is the Period End Date.

If date on weekend:

• Pay Before (default) - If the payment date is on a weekend, then change it to the preceding Friday.
• Pay On - If the payment date is on a weekend, then do not change it.
• Pay After - If the payment date is on a weekend, then change it to the following Monday.

Examples:

If Payment date is = "After Period Start Date", Days = 19, and the Period Start Date is 01/04/2010, then the Payment date will be 20/04/2010.

If Payment date is = "After Period Start Date", Days = -15, and the Period Start Date is 01/05/2010, then the Payment date will be 16/04/2010.

If Payment date is = "After Period End Date", Days = 3, and the Period End Date is 31/05/2010, then the Payment date will be 03/06/2010.

If Payment date is = "After Period End Date", Days = -15 and the Period End Date is 31/05/2010, then the Payment date will be 16/05/2010.
