How Payloom handles a change like this
The old rule closes on 31 May 2026 and the new one starts on 1 June 2026, both checked against the source and countersigned before they can price a real payroll. Months already paid keep the rules they were paid on, for good. A month calculated before the new rule arrived is marked out of date, and approving it is refused until it is worked out again.
