Cycle time in business days from HR/benefits system cut-off until payroll system cut-off date

This measure calculates the number of business days that elapse between the final date that changes can be made to the HR/benefits system (e.g., employee data changes, new hires, terminations, etc.) in order to be effective in the period payroll run and the final date that changes can be made to the payroll system (e.g., report time, paid and unpaid leave, garnishments, etc.) for inclusion in the period payroll run. It is part of a set of Cycle Time measures that help companies analyze the duration of the process "manage pay" process from beginning to end.
