What are cut-off dates?

Cut-off dates are the monthly deadlines by which Oyster must be notified of any changes regarding payments to team members to reflect the difference in the effective month.

Cut-off dates apply to these team members:

• • Full-time Employees (FTEs)
  • Fixed Contractors

Changes subject to cut-off dates include:

• • Salary changes
  • Pay supplements
  • Benefit changes
  • Expense reimbursements

Payment adjustment requests for any given month cannot be submitted after the cut-off date indicated on the Payroll page. Expenses approved after the cut-off date will automatically be added to the following month’s pay cycle.

When are the cut-off dates?

Depending on your team member, the cut-off date will either fall on:

• • 6th of the month or,
  • 10th of the month

Where can I find the cut-off dates?

You don't have to remember the cut-off date for your team members - simply go to the Payroll page to see the cut-off date for each of your team members.

Note:

You will always be able to make payment changes to future months, so if you missed the current month’s cut-off date, we recommend that you add the payment changes to the following month’s pay cycle.

If the cut-off date has passed and you want to stop a payment from being made, please get in touch with support@oysterhr.com. We will do our best to accommodate your requests but cannot guarantee this.
