Reference: Hiring Restrictions in Change Job

This topic is relevant to the legacy change job experience. We plan to retire this topic in a future release.
Workday determines when to apply hiring restrictions in the
Change Job
business process by considering:
  • How the tenant is configured for staffing.
  • If the worker is moving to a different supervisory organization.
  • If the proposed organization has a different staffing model.
Workday then decides whether to move the worker and position together, or to apply hiring restrictions against a new position.
Optionally, you can loosen restrictions on job profiles, locations, time types, and worker types by selecting the
Allow Override of Restrictions on Staffing Events
check box in the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
task.

Job Management

You can control whether workers get new positions when they move between job management organizations that have the same staffing model. In the
Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
task, select the
Change Job Use Default Organizations for Job Management
check box to place workers into new positions. Leave it unchecked to move workers and positions together.
If a worker stays in the same organization, Workday always keeps the same position regardless of the tenant setting.
Workday uses these criteria to apply hiring restrictions in job management organizations:
