When terminating an employee, within the Termination Portlet, the field "OK to Rehire" defaults to "No".

In order to default the "OK to Rehire" field to "Yes", create a Business Rule as follows:

• The rule should be triggered as an onChange event, in the "employmentInfo" element, on one of the fields that will display during the Termination process;
• In the following example, it is onChange on the Termination Date (end-date) field;

Step 1: enable Termination Date (end-date) field

1. Go To BCUI
2. employmentInfo"
3. enable: Termination Date (end-date) field

Step 2: Create a Rule

1. Go to Configure Business Rules
2. Select: Employee Central Core 
3. Select : Trigger onChange Rules for HRIS Elements 

• The Base Object (and only parameter to this rule) should be "Employment Details";
• The IF condition should be set to "IF Employment Details.Termination Date is not equal to NULL";
• And the THEN condition should set the field "OK to Rehire" to be equal to "YES"
• Assign the rule under Termination Date field

Please Note: Do not configure this rule with "If = Always True" as the rule will not trigger correctly the 1st time. In addition, this rule is not applicable for Contingent Workers as the ECWK record is system generated when the work order is initially created.

Step 3: add onChange Rule under Termination Date (end-date) field
