- When you use Employee Information as a base object, you can access all entities through Employee Information. It is possible to define a saveAlert under jobInfo in the Manage Business Configuration tool and continue to use Employee Information as your base object. When you create the rule, specify fields from Job Information fields for your conditions.

Cause
In the alert message definition you used [[EFFECTIVE_DATE]].
This works for effective dated elements only. Employment details is not effective dated, hence it will pick the change date and not the effective date.
Resolution
Create an alert rule with base object job information on termination event, then you can use [[EFFECTIVE_DATE]].
