You specify pay dates (check dates) when you define your payroll. The default pay date is the day on which the pay period ends. If your agency issues its checks later than the pay period, you can enter an offset, the number of days that elapse between the end of the pay period and your pay date.
See: Defining a Payroll
For previously defined payrolls, you can enter or change the offset by running the Check Date Setup concurrent manager program. If you do not use the Oracle HRMS Payroll window to maintain your pay dates, you can have the application call a user hook to return your agency's pay dates.
See: Providing Alternate Pay Dates
Use the Submit Requests concurrent manager window to change the offset for the number of days between the pay period end date and the pay date.
