Yes, it is an acceptable use of the UC_CONC_HIRE(_AC) HR template. This scenario has been observed when an employee is transitioning from one appointment on a single Empl Record to another appointment on a separate Empl Record, requiring a concurrent hire HR Template. An example of this would be a GSI appointment on Empl Record 0 with an Expected Job End Date of December 31st with a termination row effective January 1st, where a GSR appointment with another department is starting on January 1st. It is permissible to enter a UC_CONC_HIRE_AC template to process an Academic Concurrent Hire effective January 1st on a separate Empl Record (e.g., Empl Record 1).
UCPath Center understands this to be an acceptable use of a Concurrent Hire template and will approve transactions that fall under this scenario.
