Start Date

This Python script allows a user to input a start date and then prints out all employees from a CSV file that started on that date or the closest following date. It retrieves employee records from a remote CSV file, parses the start dates, sorts the records, and iterates through them to find the earliest matching or later date and associated employees. It then continues iterating to print out each subsequent matching date and employees.
