Follow this procedure to remove the date entered into the Hire Date field and to change the person type back to Applicant. You cancel a hire using the People window.
Note: You cannot cancel a hire if:
Oracle Payroll has processed the employee in a payroll run.
The person's type has changed since the hire date.
New assignments have been created for the person after the hire date.
The person was initially entered on the system as an employee and therefore has no previous history as an applicant or contact. In this case you must delete the person's records from the system using the Delete Person window.
Query the employee in the People window.
Select Cancel Hire in the Action field.
Save your work.
The application warns you that any changes made to the person's records after their hire date will be lost. If you continue, all employee records are deleted, and the person type changes to Applicant. The applicant data history is retained.
