I have to agree with Al. I've already run into multiple sites where
00/00/0000 and 12/31/2099 have logical significance, although the cause major
problems with different implementations of DB2 and Y2K windowing schema. It's
going to be an interesting couple of years cleaning up this mess.

you have a field in your payroll system for 'date of termination'?

It's not that straight forward.
