Dear @j3llybeans ,
Welcome to the Personio Community, we are thrilled to see you here 🎊 🥳. I am happy to support you with your inquiry.
Unfortunately when placeholders read the system, it will only take into account the present value located within the employee profile. It will not read any scheduled changes, therefore in order for these values to be read correctly the scheduled change date will need to have passed.
We have a helpcenter article on how to Create Document Templates – Placeholders which will help you on this task. While we do not have a placeholder that would go through the effective date of the change, you can create an attribute for this within the employee profile. You could then enter this information and pull it using the custom placeholder option explained in the guide above. This would be the only workaround available at this moment.
Please let me know if you require any assistance with this and I will be happy to help.
Best,
Conor
