store "last hire date" in a custom field in JobInfo to be effective dated ?

We are investigating what could be the solution to avoid inconsistency in Last Hire Date for employee being rehired.

Current behavior, before the rehire event is created :

John Doe : 12345

Last Hire Date : 01.01.2021

After the rehire is created with effective date 01.01.2024 :

John Doe : 12345

Last Hire Date : 01.01.2024

Between now & the effective date : 01.01.2024 the value stored in Employment Info > Last Hire Date is causing problem. It's functionaly wrong and these date is often enforced in third party system ( start date < end date)

If we add a custom field in Jobinfo to store the hire date : "CUSTOM Last Hire Date" synchronized by business rule when Hire & Rehire event is effective.

before the rehire event is created :

John Doe : 12345

Last Hire Date : 01.01.2021

CUSTOM Last Hire Date : 01.01.2021

After the rehire event is created :

John Doe : 12345

Last Hire Date : 01.01.2024

CUSTOM Last Hire Date : 01.01.2021

After the rehire event is effective:

John Doe : 12345

Last Hire Date : 01.01.2024

CUSTOM Last Hire Date : 01.01.2024


Does other customer have introduced such custom field to fix Last Hire Date inconsistency before the effective date ?

our second option is to store the information in a MDF object but these will prevent us to use HRIS sync to sync the custom last hire date with standard field hireDate

Dear pboulicaut,

Other customers use the other standard date fields available to record it, for example the original start date.

Using the original start date, you can have the following, based on your use case:

__________________________________________________________________

First Record:

John Doe : 12345

Hire Date : 01.01.2021

Original Start Date: 01.01.2021

After the rehire effective date 01.01.2024:

John Doe : 12345

Hire Date : 01.01.2024

Original Start Date: 01.01.2021

I hope this helps!

Thank you.
