Symptom

Environment

Cause

For temination date there is not TimeIn Calculation occuring, and is automatically filled with the effective start date in case a job info record is created/changed/deleted depending on the event.

Resolution

  • The "Termination Date" field can not be made as a non-mandatory field
  • In case the Job Info’s effective start date is changed in a record (for the hire date/termination date /leave of absence start date/leave of absence return date) is newly set according to the new effective start date
  • In Job Info History, the date fields are propagated to future records until a new record with a suitable event (Hire, Rehire, Termination, Leave of Absence, Return to Work) is created
  • In case a job info record is deleted, the date fields are propagated from the “closest underlying” job info records
  • XML for the Termination Date Field:

    </hris-field>

    <hris-field field max-length="128" id="terminationDate" visibility="view">
    <label>Termination Date</label>

    </hris-field>
