Illustrative example. The dates and amounts below are provided for practice.
A promotion does not necessarily replace the day someone joined an organization. This example keeps a company start on March 18, 2022 and a role start on September 1, 2026.
Save “Company anniversary” as Work Anniversary with the original March date and annual repeat. Add “New role” with the September date, choosing annual repeat only if you actually want to observe it each year.
Correct a mistaken edit
If you changed the company record to September 1, use Edit to restore March 18, 2022. Then create the role record separately. Search for the person's identifier and check that both dates are present.
As of March 18, 2027, the company anniversary has five completed years. The role start has zero completed years. You can reproduce these figures in Anniversary Calculator using each start and the same reference date.
Choose what to retain
For a role you no longer want to celebrate, either keep it as One time or delete it after backing up. One time preserves a historical date without creating a next-year reminder. A completed calendar year follows the month and day. Official employment records may use their own definitions, so use this as a personal reminder.
