Every incorrect option names the misconception it represents. A wrong answer tells you which model of the process you reached for, which is the part that is worth correcting.

1. Which processes create a work relationship? Select all that apply.

Name the processes that create a work relationship · targets: Believing a work relationship is created whenever a person record is, rather than only through the five named processes.

2. A contingent worker has been renegotiated into a permanent employee, and HR cannot find a way to change the worker type on the work relationship. What is the correct route?

Explain the immutability of the worker type and legal employer · targets: Treating the missing edit as a permissions problem and escalating it, rather than recognising a binding that was chosen once and cannot be amended.

3. A person holds two work relationships. HR tries to terminate the primary one and the termination is refused. Why?

State the primary work relationship rules · targets: Reading the refusal as a data fault in the person record, when it is a rule protecting the person from having no primary relationship.

4. A person is rehired after their work relationship was terminated. The rehire reopens the terminated work relationship and continues it.

Explain what a rehire does · targets: Expecting the old relationship to continue, and reading the new inactive-plus-active pair as a duplicate person record.
