Employees and payroll

Having accurate original hire dates as well as rehire dates provides a full picture of the employee's history with the company, Green02. I understand you want to move the date in "Hire Date" to the "Original Hire Date field. 

 

I also wanted to ask if both fields are greyed out. If so, remove any termination information that may be entered on the employee's profile, specifically the Last Day Worked and Release Date details.

 

Having those termination dates can sometimes lock the hire date fields. Removing that data unlocks the hire date fields for editing.
