• This issue is caused by the use of another feature.
• In the "Recruit/Rehire Configuration: MatchingUserConfiguration" object, the feature option to "Default Job Information during rehire" is set to "No"
• This means that on rehire of a user, the Job Information, including the Company/Legal Entity is removed.
• These two features can not currently be used together, as the use of both means you will not be able to rehire a user to the same employment.

To resolve, you will need to decided which feature you will need to use as both can not be used in conjunction with each other. After you have decided you can disable one on the below by following the below steps: Implementing and Managing the Employment Lifecycle (from Hiring to Termination)
