The Salary end date rule determines how long Reflect takes a theoretical salary into account. When the last salary period is still open (has no end date), Reflect uses the day after the contract end date as its end date, if that date is available and can be linked to the salary or the employee.

In this case, the salary remains valid on the last day of the contract. From the following day, it no longer contributes to the theoretical salary for that contract. If no contract end date can be linked to the salary or the employee, this rule cannot derive an end date from it.

For example, if a contract ends on March 31, its end date is linked to the salary, and its last salary period is still open, that salary is taken into account through March 31. It is no longer included from April 1. A salary measure at a given date can therefore change depending on the date and the population selected.

If the employee has another contract with a valid salary, that salary can still contribute to their total. This rule concerns theoretical salary; payroll amounts paid over a period are a different view.

Check the date and filters in your analysis, as well as the contract dates and salary changes sent to Reflect. If the difference remains, contact your Reflect representative to check the data.
