| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Start Date | This editable field displays the start date that is calculated automatically from the previous row's End Date and the selected pay frequency. You can insert rows, but dates must not overlap (that is, the current row's Start Date cannot be earlier than the previous row's End Date). You cannot save a record with dates overlapping. The Costpoint format for a date field is MM/DD/YYYY. |
| End Date | This editable field displays the end date that is calculated automatically from the selected row's Start Date and the selected pay frequency. You can enter a date representing the last timesheet date of the pay period (which may or may not be the paycheck date) in this field, but the dates in this table must not overlap (that is, the current row's End Date cannot be later than the next row's Start Date). The Costpoint format for a date field is MM/DD/YYYY. |
| Check Date | Enter, or click  to select, the check date that applies to the pay period. This is the date of the checks used to pay employees for work performed during the pay period. This date defaults onto the Print Paychecks screen and Print Payment Advices screen based on the pay cycle and open pay period. |
| Open Flag | Select this check box to indicate that the pay period is open. Only one pay period can be open for a given pay cycle at a time. When you add pay periods to the table using the Add button, the Open Flag is set to cleared. |
| Payroll Year | Enter the payroll year for which this period is effective. |
| Regular Hours | This column reflects the number of regular (non-overtime) hours in each specific pay period. You can edit this column to the specific number of regular (non-overtime) hours in each pay period. This is a required field. |
| Employee Packaged Deductions Processed | This non-editable check box indicates whether or not the pay period was processed through the Update Employee Package Deductions screen in the Benefits module. This check box displays as selected if you run the Update Employee Package Deduction screen for all employees in the pay cycle and not just for a portion of the employees.
