The Real-World Context

Hiring in Portugal means NIF, NISS, employee_code must be present before payroll. Missing one blocks the whole run.

The Test Scenario

We opened JobOpening: Waiter, received JobApplication, moved it through Scorecard → Interview → Hired, created Employee with missing NISS, then completed onboarding.

How It Works (The Mechanics)

  1. Application → EmployeeJobApplicationInterviewEmployee onboarding_status: invited → pre_boarding → active.
  2. Profile checkmissingProfileFields flags NIF/NISS/employee_code if empty.
  3. Active gate — only active employees can be rostered and paid.

The Results / What We Verified

  • Hiring flow created employee. Pass.
  • Missing NISS correctly flagged. Pass.
  • Inactive could not be rostered until active. Pass.

Honest caveat: Document verification (BI, contracts) still needs HR eyes — the flag tells you what’s missing, not that it’s valid.
