How to edit the date of joining of an employee?

The Date of Joining (DOJ) indicates when an employee officially begins their employment. In cases like re-joining, inter-company transfers, or correcting an earlier mistake, admins/HR may need to update the DOJ.

Follow the steps below to change the Date of Joining:

1. Go to the Global Search bar and search for the employee, then open their profile.

2. Click on the Job tab.

3. Click the Edit icon beside Date of Joining under Job Details.

4. In the popup window, choose whether the update is a Correction of Date or a Date of Joining Change.

5. Select the new date, enter the mandatory note explaining why the DOJ is being updated, and click Update.

Important difference:

• Correction of Date → used when the date was entered incorrectly; will NOT reflect on the employee's timeline.

• Date of Joining Change → used when the DOJ is truly changing; WILL reflect on the timeline as a historical change.
