3019445 - Assigning New Hire Employee IDs: issues with generateNextPersonId

You wish to use OData API to automatically generate userIds. Example of a potential business case:
Your API is currently using the same ID as employees that are pending in a workflow causing the records to collide, thus need the API to pull the next consecutive number that is already taken by an existing employee or an employee that is pending approval in a workflow
