What is the difference between the cutoff date and the pay date on the Payslip Pay Dates screen?

Alert
This feature is available on all PaySpace editions.

The cut-off date applies to companies using workflow paths for claims and leave. The user must specify the cut-off date for each pay run on the Company Payslip Pay Dates Screen. If the next pay period is not yet an open run, employees will be unable to submit a claim or leave application after the cut-off date. If the pay run is open, the claim will be automatically assigned to that pay period. If the user does not specify a cut-off date, employees will be able to submit claims up until the pay date specified on the Company Payslip Pay Dates Screen.

The pay date is the date the pay run will close. All scheduled reports and payslips will be sent out on this date.
