If you are looking for a way to streamline your hiring process and ensure that you have all the necessary information about your future employees or contingent workers, you might want to consider using pending workers. A pending worker is a person who has a record in the system with a future start date but has not yet been hired or placed as an employee or a contingent worker. You can create a pending worker record for a person who has accepted your offer but has not yet completed the hiring or placement process. This way, you can track their progress and prepare for their onboarding.
When the hiring or placement process is completed, you can easily convert the pending worker to the appropriate worker type, such as an employee or contingent worker. This will activate their work relationship and allow them to access the system and perform their tasks. By using pending workers, you can have more control over the hiring process and avoid creating duplicate records for the same person.
