2487332 - Why is Seniority Start Date Defaulted From Rehire Date

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 a inactive employee

2. Rehire the inactive user

3. Observe that the seniority start date has changed to the rehire date

This is expected system behaviour

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 The system reads this as the user is terminated from the system and is no longer active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
