It is important to note that the date of record is the date printed on the check, which might not be the same as the date you actually recieve it due to the holidays.

It sounds like your company pays once per month on the 15th. If my understanding is correct then your December 15 paystub will be reflect your earnings for 2012 regardless of how many hours you work from December 15 through 31. You are paid for these two weeks in your January check and they are considered 2013 earnings (based on when your company pays you) even though the work was completed in 2012.

However, if your company pays on the 15th and 31st of each month then you will need to use the December 31 paystub even if you don’t receive the check until January when you return from the holidays.
