Change Employment Start Dates

You can change the work relationship start date using the Employment Start Dates compact guided process. Using this guided process, you can also change the hire date for terminated workers and proposed start date for pending workers.

You use this guided process if you only want to change the start date and not any other work relationship attributes, such as the primary indicator and work relationship descriptive flexfield. If you want to change the start date along with other work relationship attributes, you must use the work relationship process instead.

Here's how information is displayed in the Employment Start Dates page:

Start Date Info section: Displays the read-only action name field where the action name is appended with the date of the action. For a pending worker work relationship, the appended date is the proposed start date of the pending worker. Additionally, this section displays error messages, if any, when you change the work relationship start date.
Assignments section: Displays the read-only assignment data as of the date the worker is searched in the Employment Start Dates search page. If there are multiple assignments in the work relationship, only those assignments which are active as of the searched date are displayed.

Note: You can personalize the Employment Start Dates page by using HCM Experience Design Studio.

Start Date Change for Pending Workers

For pending workers, the application changes the proposed start date instead of the start date of the pending worker work relationship. When you change the proposed start date for a pending worker, the work relationship start date is automatically changed where applicable. This change only happens if the new proposed start date is earlier than the original work relationship start date.

Points to Consider

You can't change the work relationship start date when other employment transactions are pending approval.
The contract and probation end dates won't be moved when you change the work relationship start date.
If assignment-level security is enabled, you can only change the work relationship start date if you have access to the first assignment created when adding the work relationship.
