2487332 - Seniority Start Date is being defaulted from rehire date - Employee Central

When we perform a rehire, we notice that the field Seniority Start Date is automatically being populated with the rehire date.

Employee Central - Employment Information

1. Check the Seniority Start Date of an inactive employee;
2. Rehire the inactive user;
3. Observe that the Seniority Start Date has changed to the rehire date.

This is expected system behavior.

For new hires, the Seniority Start Date field will have the same date as the hire date.

For rehires, the Seniority Start Date will default from the rehire date due to the following:

A user cannot be rehired into the system unless they have been terminated. The system reads this as the user is terminated from the system and is no longer active. When rehiring the user, the system disregards the seniority that was built up in the previous employment and starts from scratch as of the rehire date.

As an alternative, it is possible to setup onChange and onSave business rules to set Seniority Start Date. onInit business rules will not work as per system design.
