Option to select entitlement calculation date during payroll processing
During payroll processing, prorata leave calculation is currently based on the “Pay Run Date”. If we require this leave calculation to be based on the last day of the pay cycle (Pay To Date), the only option is to run Entitlement Recalculation before printing the pay slips.
e.g.
Pay cycle is weekly Sunday to Saturday (28/02/2021 – 06/03/2021)
Pay run date is the next Tuesday (09/03/2021)
Currently Jobpac calculates the prorata leave balance as at 09/03/2021
requirement:
Suggestions:
Option 1: A new parameter to define the leave calculation date to default (Pay Run Date or Pay To Date)
Option 2: A field to specify the leave calculation date during pay run processing.

Great idea Chami,
My comments about the options:
We would like to be able to leave the "Payroll To Date" as today's date. Occasionally when doing timesheet entries they get dated todays date (default date). Because we then have to set the Payroll To Date to the end of the Pay Period to get the entitlements right, we then miss transactions accidently dated today. I understand this is a user data entry issue, but still a bit annoying.
Another use case of the idea is when fixing or adjusting a final payment to a terminated employee. If the employee finished a week or a month ago, but you're running a final pay today it recalculates leave to the Pay Run Date. I like option two because it would manually prompt the consideration of when you want to accumulate leave up to.
