Cause

Validations would be added in the front-end and back-end making sure that both the dates are equal

Resolution

An enhancement was released in b1711 release to validate work order start date to be equal to hire date when the user enters work order portlet on Hire Wizard via UI "Add contingent worker wizard", the system checks (on the UI) for whether the Hire Date is equal to Work Order start date else throws a validation message.
