Use this procedure to change an employee’s start date on payroll infotypes after the new hire action has been completed and payroll has not run for the incorrect hire date (prior to Payroll Day 4). The personnel administration portion of the New Hire Action – Change Hire Date Before Day 4 must be completed first.

Tips: 

As a payroll processor, you will not process this action until you have received a new hire information packet with a corrected hire date from the personnel administration processor indicating they have completed their portion of the action.

This procedure may require hand-offs to other roles (such as benefits processor) depending on the structure of your agency and your role at the agency. Refer to the New Hire Action (BN) - Change Hire Date Before Day 4 user procedure for completing the benefits processor portion of the action.

This procedure is a generalized example of correcting a New Hire Date. The steps may vary depending on the infotypes that were created during and after the New Hire Action. For specific instructions, please contact HereToHelp@ofm.wa.gov
