Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Admin Center > Add New Employee
  2. Fill in Hire date, Company (legal entity), Event reason, First name, Last name, DOB, etc. for an inactive contingent worker
  3. Click continue > notice the pop-up indicating the person already exists in the system
  4. Choose Accept Match
  5. See a second pop-up informing the person already exists in the system as a contingent worker and asking if he/she should be hired as a regular employee
  6. Choose Yes
  7. Notice it is required to re-select an Event reason and Company (legal entity) fields again
