Reproducing the Issue

Cause

It is expected behaviour that the HR Manager can only edit records for which they have a Matrix Relationship and were created after their hire date.

Resolution

The best way to ensure this other than manually creating a record, is to avail of the update of the To Be Hired field.

Once an employee is assigned to a position it will update the to be hired status of the position on their hire date.
