Oracle Apps per_people_f data corruption

Question

Hi,
I am stuck up with some problem with payroll report.
Users complained that there is an ex-employee appearing
in the payroll report.
I run this sql and the user appears in this query.
select      pap.PERSON_ID,
     payf.PAYROLL_NAME PAYROLL,
     pap.last_name LASTNAME,
     pap.first_name FIRSTNAME,
     pap.middle_names MIDDLENAME,
     payf.ATTRIBUTE2 L1,
     payf.ATTRIBUTE3 L2,
     pap.national_identifier SSN,
     paf.ASS_ATTRIBUTE1 MSA#,
     pps.date_start REHIRE_DATE,
     pap.attribute7 Original_Hire_Date
from per_people_f pap,
     per_assignments_f paf,
     pay_payrolls_f payf,
     per_periods_of_service pps
where paf.person_id = pap.person_id
and     payf.payroll_id = paf.payroll_id
and     :P_ENDDATE between payf.effective_start_date and payf.effective_end_date
and     :P_ENDDATE between paf.effective_start_date and paf.effective_end_date
and     :P_ENDDATE between pap.effective_start_date and pap.effective_end_date
and pps.person_id = pap.person_id
and ( ( pap.creation_date between :P_STARTDATE and :P_ENDDATE and pap.effective_start_date <= :P_ENDDATE)
or pap.start_date between :P_STARTDATE and :P_ENDDATE)
and (:P_PAY is null or payf.Payroll_ID = :P_PAY)
and pps.date_start = (select max(pps1.date_start)
               from per_periods_of_service pps1
               where pps1.person_id = pps.person_id)
order by L1,L2
The problem i see is the start_date column in the per_people_f table shows this years date...but the employee was terminated last year only.
Will anybody please guide what this start_date means.
As i see another original_start_date which is correct for this person.
Records in per_period_of_service is correct for this person.
Not sure which front end field maps to this start_date field of per_people_f table and if at all i just update this table with the correct start date what is going to be the impact?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
per_period_of_service table contain exact details of start date and end date of the service.
Start_date in the per_all_people_f might be date of joining the perticular Business group and not necessarly organization.
To detect EX-Employee, use primary assignment flag = 'Y' condition and also
use per_person_types table with PERSON_TYPE_ID
