Effective Start and End Dates for Worker Components

Many components of the Worker object are date effective. When creating workers, you must ensure that the effective dates of individual worker components don't conflict.

This topic suggests an approach to setting the earliest effective start date and last effective end date for each date-effective component. You don't have to follow this guidance. However, you must ensure that effective dates are aligned for the complete Worker object.
