Customer wants a magic button on SSHR to convert a contractor (non-employee person_type) to an employee (employee person_type). IS there any way of doing this?

My only thoughts were to create the vacancy and then hire the contractor into it. I don't see how values like pay basis etc would be populated properly.

I imagine I could put a shed load of APIs together but it sounds like major hassle and I would then have to kick it off from a SSHR Workflow such as Change Assignment.

Is there a better way?

I don't see such a seeded functionality in SSHR.

Hire Applicant is the one can be used such but its for applicants to employee.

I concur with KP here. Not aware of any seeded functionality to achieve this, without following the normal procedures of converting an applicant person type to employee.

Not sure the new R12 onboard/offboard checklist functionality will help either!

Looks like the custom route is the way to go.

Hi Simon,

One thing to remember when doing your customisation is that has to be a gap between the CWK's Period of Placement and Period of Service.

You cannot hire a new employee from their contingent worker placement and therefore you cannot run the rehire API for people who have a system person type of CWK.

You need to terminate the CWK for one day, and then rehire them as an employee.

If you wanted a CWK to be an EMP from today (16-DEC-2009) you need to terminate their placement 2 days in the past (14-DEC-2009). They would to be an EX_CWK for one day (15-DEC-2009) and then you hire them to an EMP status from the next day (16-DEC-2009).
