    • Start Date - Indicates when this record is effective.
      • If there is an existing active pay rate when a new pay rate is added, a stop/end date will be automatically added to the previous active pay rate that is one day earlier than the start date of the new record. If there are multiple records with no end date, the system will add an end date to the most current record. This will not occur if "Do not add end date to previous compensation record" has been enabled for the record.
    • Stop Date - Indicates when this record should be marked inactive. If the end date is not set, it is assumed it is the active record.
    • Rate Code - If multiple rate codes are available, you can choose from the dropdown menu.
