Concept: Rehire Former Workers

Concept: Rehire Former Workers

Former workers are workers you terminate before your Workday implementation, but you loaded them into storage. To access these workers, use the
Former Worker Storage
security domain. You can rehire a former worker using these tasks:
  • Contract Contingent Worker
  • Hire Employee
When you rehire former workers, Workday:
  • Creates a pre-hire record.
  • Populates the
    Original Hire Date
    field from the former worker's record.
  • Prevents you from using the
    Edit Former Worker
    task to change the former worker's name, contact information, personal data, and national ID. However, you can update this information in the worker's profile.
  • Adds a link to the former worker record on the worker's profile.
