How is Last Hire Date different than the Hire Date?

Last hire date is the date a person is hired or rehired in the organization. Hire date is the date associated with a hire action job row. For example if a person is hired on 1st May 2010 first time in the company and then terminated on 1st May 2011. Hire date and last hire date both will be 1st May 2010. Let’s say now the person is rehired on 5th May 2011 then the hire date will still remain as 1st May 2010 but the last hire date will now be 5th May 2011.

How is last hire date different from rehire date. Explain this date concept.

Last hire date is the most recent date when the person was hired or rehired in the organization. So, this date changes when a hire action row or a rehire action row is added in job. Rehire date is blank for a person when he/she is hired. It’s only populated on a rehire job action row. This is the effective date of the job row where action is rehire.
