Use

The date of birth is the basic value used to calculate a person's age. The following statistical evaluations are based on this value:

  • Age structures
  • Anniversaries
  • Pay increases as a result of higher seniority
  • Birthday lists

Procedure

You can enter the date of birth without decimal points and without the first two digits in the year (e.g. 121061 rather than 12.10.1961.)
