    If you choose Rehire with New Employment only Hire Event Reasons will show.

Solution 2 - Via "Rehire Inactive Employee" tool:

  1. If you have been granted permission to  “Admin Center > Rehire Inactive Employees” tool, then you can utilize this tool to rehire employees. Instead of having to match certain data to find the employee you want to rehire, you can search for the Inactive user, and rehire them via this tool. Just click on the employee’s name you wish to rehire to start the rehire process.

    Please Note: If the Add New Employee wizard does not open the "Use this match" pop-up when entering First/Last Name + Date of Birth, or if the Rehire Inactive Employee tool does not return the user when they are searched for - then the employee is either not currently Terminated or was not correct terminated (via Take Action -> Terminate), or does not have any Employee Central data maintained (minimum = Biographical Info, Employment Details, Job Information & Personal Information).
