There are two set of employment date fields in PeopleWerksHR – one related to the beginning of employment and the other related to the beginning of a job assignment.
There are Hire and Start Dates as part of the Work Summary for the employee in the Name & Demographics section of their personnel record. These dates generally relate to when the person was hired and started in the district or organization. There are other customizable date fields in this same section that can be used to track other dates related to the beginning of someone’s employment.
There are job-related Hire and Start Dates as part of the Job Details section of the personnel record. These dates relate to the job assignment only. There are other customizable job date fields in this same section that can be used to track other dates related to the beginning of someone’s job assignment.
When someone is first hired, the Hire and Start Dates in the Work Summary and in the Job Details match but when someone changes job assignments, the job Hire and Start dates change while the organization dates remain the same.
