Resolution
- Ensure the employee approving the workflow has correct RBP permissions to Edit the following portlets of the employee being hired into a new job.

- Permissions can be maintained in Admin Center > Manage Permission Roles.
- If the employee has been granted sufficient permission and the problem still occurs, check that the target granting of the RBP role includes the employee that is being transferred.
