Detailed Description

A validation has been introduced on employees' date of birth to ensure the entered date is in the past. This validation works on the Add New Employee page and the People Profile page, but does not apply to imports or APIs. On Add New Employee, the validation is triggered when you submit changes, while on People Profile, it is triggered only when you save changes. An error message will prompt users to enter a past date if a current or future date is entered.

Impact Assessment

This change helps minimize errors when updating employees' date of birth data by enforcing validation rules. The validation does not apply to imports or APIs, and does not occur when saving a draft for the Hire scenario, limiting the scope of impact. This is a minor enhancement that affects manual data entry on specific pages within Employee Central.

Test Recommendations
• Test entering a current or future date in the Date of Birth field on the Add New Employee page and verify an error message is displayed prompting for a past date • Test entering a past date on the Add New Employee page and verify the submission succeeds • Test entering a current or future date on the People Profile Biographical Information page and verify an error message appears when attempting to save • Test entering a past date on the People Profile page and verify the changes save successfully • Verify that validation does not occur when saving a draft for the Hire scenario • Verify that dependents' date of birth is not subject to this validation • Confirm that imports and APIs do not enforce this validation
