The import triggers the New Hire/Rehire event for an employee when the import file includes the first occurrence of a work assignment and non-terminated employment status, which can include the pre-start status. The Hire Date field in the file must also be within the threshold of the HR Import Event Threshold in Days field in the General section in the Properties tab of System Admin > Client Properties.
Note the following scenarios:
- If the employee is imported to Dayforce with no work assignment or status, the event isn’t triggered. If you later run an import that adds the first non-terminated status and work assignment, the event is triggered.
- If the employee is imported to Dayforce with a work assignment but no status, or a status but no work assignment, the event isn’t triggered, because either the status or work assignment is missing in each case. If you later run an import that adds the first non-terminated status or work assignment, the event is triggered.
