3756546 - System throws a validation error while hiring contingent worker with termination date same as their manager’s termination date - 1H 2026

• During the hiring of a contingent worker with a defined termination date (feature introduced in 1H 2026), the system performs manager validation and throws the following error “User X has an inactive manager, Y, as of [effective termination date]. The manager provided in the record has the status Terminated, which means they are inactive.”

• This issue occurs when the manager is also a contingent worker and has the same termination date as the Contingent worker being hired.
