hire date

When work begins

A hire date is the official date when someone begins employment with a company or organization.

It typically marks when an employee formally joins the payroll rather than when they were offered or accepted the job.

HR departments track hire dates for calculating benefits eligibility, vacation accrual, and employment anniversaries.
