This article explains when it is necessary to add fixed end dates on pay records in SelectHR, and when it is not required.
Fixed end dates on pay records are generally not needed unless the pay element is being ended with no continuation or the employee is leaving the business.
📌 Note: Customers with fixed-term employees should follow the guidance on correctly setting up fixed-term employee records.
Scenarios and actions
Scenario | What to do |
An employee’s pay record is set to end on a specific date (e.g., a loan), with no further payments via this element. | Add a fixed end date to the existing pay history record. |
An employee is no longer going to be paid using an assigned pay element. | Add a fixed end date to the existing pay history record. |
An employee has handed in their notice to leave the business. | Add a fixed end date to the existing pay history record.
📌 Note: This will occur automatically when adding an end date to their appointment record. |
An employee is receiving a pay amount increase to an existing pay element. | Add a new pay history record reflecting the change. No fixed end date needed on the existing record. |
