End International and Domestic Assignments

End International and Domestic Assignments

When you end an employee's assignment, Workday removes the employee from the position and returns the employee to their primary position.
Workday recommends that you don't end the assignment and terminate the employee on the same date. If you end the assignment and terminate the employee on the same date, the assignment continues to display as the default position on the worker profile. If you rehire the same employee, the position that you select when hiring becomes the employee's primary position.
