Difference Between a Legal Employer and an Enterprise Hire Date
Legal employer service dates relate to work relationships with a legal employer.
The legal employer starts or hires date is the start date of the work relationship.
The legal employer seniority date is the date on which a person’s legal employer service of a particular type (employee, contingent worker, or non-worker) is based. A person can have up to three legal employer seniority dates for a single legal employer. If you enter no date, the legal employer seniority date is assumed to be the start date of the work relationship.
Enterprise service dates relate to a person’s service with the enterprise rather than with individual legal employers.
The enterprise start or hire date is the start date of a person’s first work relationship of this type (employee, contingent worker, or non-worker) in the enterprise. For example, a person’s non-worker enterprise start date is the start date of the person’s first non-worker work relationship with any legal employer in the enterprise. Therefore, a person can have up to three enterprise start dates.
The enterprise seniority date is the date on which a person’s enterprise service is based. By default, the enterprise seniority date is the start date of the person’s current primary work relationship.
