The Change Effective Date for the Change of Position must fall within which date range?

• A. The Assignment Begin and End Dates.
• B. The calendar year start to end.
• C. The fiscal year only.
• D. The date of the last promotion.

Answer: (A)

The key point is that the Change Effective Date must be tied to the employee’s active assignment. It should fall within the Assignment Begin Date and Assignment End Date so the position change is recorded against the correct, current assignment and aligns with the related approvals, payroll, and benefits.

If you used a calendar year or fiscal year window, or the date of the last promotion, you could push the change outside the employee’s active assignment or misalign it with the period it’s intended to cover. A change can occur at times other than a promotion, and its effective date still needs to sit inside the ongoing assignment to keep records consistent and accurate.
