“Employee Status Begins before date of hire” error. What does this mean? How can I fix it?
The ACA Track data integrity test checks that the employee information you provided is consistent with known data rules. In this case, you provided a Status Begin Date for an employee which is prior to the date of hire you listed for that same employee. Double-check your data for this employee and ensure that the Status Begin Date occurs on or after the employee’s Date of Hire.
If the employee was rehired, make sure to include a new line of data to record the rehire. In the previous line of data, enter their Term Date. In the new line, enter the rehire date into the Hire Date column, and leave the Term Date blank. Make sure that the corresponding Status Begins Date occurs on the same day or after the Hire Date in each line of data.
