What's a pending worker?

A person who will be hired or start a contingent worker placement and for whom you create a person record that's effective before the hire or start date.

A pending worker is a person who's yet to start employment and doesn't have a person record in the application. You create a pending worker record with a date that's effective before the hire date.

You convert a pending worker to the proposed worker type when the new hire is confirmed. For example, when a new employee's hire is completed, you convert the pending worker record to an employee record. The pending-worker functions provide greater control of the hiring process than hiring an employee or adding a contingent worker with a future start date.
