Detailed Description

You can now specify a termination date when adding a contingent worker or a contingent assignment, allowing assignment of the contingent worker to positions scheduled to become inactive after the work order ends. Previously, when adding a contingent worker or contingent assignment, the system validated whether the position would remain active throughout the entire period of the work order by using 12/31/9999 for the default end date of the work order.
