3600330 - [1H 2025] The Behavior of Hide and Include Contingent Workers Toggles in The Latest Org Chart

• After the 2505 release, turning on the 'Hide Contingent Workers in Org Chart' setting in the Org Chart Configuration doesn't stop contingent workers from being searchable, even though the toggle is activated.
• When the 'Hide Contingent Workers in Org Chart' option is turned off, users can choose to include or exclude contingent workers using the 'Include Contingent Workers' display option. However, any changes made with this option are not being saved as expected.

Hide Contingent Workers in Org Chart - This is an expected behavior. When the "Hide Contingent Worker in Org Chart" setting is enabled, contingent workers can still be searched but won't appear in the manager's direct report line. 

Include Contingent Workers - The changed contingent worker value did not pass in the UI config request payload, resulting in the changes not being persisted on the UI config side. Additionally, a unit test (UT) was missing to ensure the changed config is correctly passed in the API payload. 

Hide Contingent Workers in Org Chart

We have received an update that this is an expected behavior. When the "Hide contingent worker in org chart" setting is enabled, contingent workers are not blocked from being searched. However, they will not appear in the manager’s direct report line (i.e., they won’t show up in the organizational hierarchy under the manager).
