Examples of Start Date Changes When Work Relationship Changes Exist

Let's look at some examples of when you can change a person's start date when work relationship changes exist and what's the outcome of the change.

Note: The enterprise start date can't be changed when you edit the work relationship because it's calculated based on the first work relationship start date for a system person type. The work relationship start date may belong to a person type, such as employee, pending worker, contingent worker, or nonworker. Therefore, when you change the first work relationship start date for a person type, the enterprise start date is changed accordingly.

Work Relationship is Terminated

Vijay Singh is hired on 1-Jan-2010. He has a nonprimary work relationship that was created on 1-Jan-2011 and terminated on 1-Jan-2012.

Employment Start Dates

You can change the start date as long as the date is before the termination date which in this example is any date before 1-Jan-2012.

Terminated Work Relationship Exists in the Same Legal Employer

Vijay Singh is hired on 1-Jan-2010 and terminated on 31-Dec-2010. He is again rehired in the same legal employer on 1-Jan-2012.

1-Jan-2012 (rehired work relationship )

1-Jan-2012 (rehired assignment)

You can move the start date for the rehired work relationship to a future date. However, you can't move the start date earlier than the end date of the original work relationship. This is because the person already has the same work relationship type with the legal employer. A person can have only one active work relationship with any legal employer for a given person type.

Pending Worker Work Relationship Exists

Vijay Singh is added as a pending worker on 1-Jan-2010 and the proposed start date of the employee work relationship is 01-Feb-2010.

Employment Start Dates

In case of pending workers, the application gives you an option to change the proposed start date instead of the work relationship start date of the pending worker work relationship. When you change the proposed start date for a pending worker, the application automatically changes the work relationship start date if applicable. This change only happens if the new proposed start date is earlier than the original work relationship start date.

You can't directly change the pending worker work relationship date on this page.
