If you need to correct the Employed date in the employee details, and you receive the following Usage Error message: 'Sorry! The employment or awards date cannot be empty, and the award date must be equal to or after the employment date', check that there are dates in both the Employed and Award Date fields. The Award Date can't be a date before the Employed date, so you may need to change the Award Date first.
Tip: If in doubt what to do and the new/correct Employed date that you wish to enter is before today's date, then change the Award Date to today's date, correct the Employed date, and then change the Award Date to be the same as the Employed date.
