  • Date Pattern Name — Defined by the Work Hours Definition in the employment terms
  • Note:
    • If employment terms have multiple date patterns, the list repeats the employee row for each date pattern.
    • A date pattern does not have to start on the first day of the week.

    Reporting Period — Range of dates as defined by the employment terms date patterns; overlaps the selected date

    Example: A loaded period is from June 8 to 14, but the date pattern starts mid-week on June 11. The reporting period is from June 11 to 17. All amounts are correct from June 11 to 17, even if the loaded period excludes June 15 to 17.
