6.2 Outbound handoffs (events this scope publishes)

source module	target domain	target module	trigger_event	transition	payload	integration	friction	description
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HRSD	HRSD-CASE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination kicks off offboarding case (exit interview, knowledge transfer, paperwork). Multiple downstream HRSD tasks created.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	New employee in HCM triggers directory account creation and birthright-role assignment in IGA. High friction because role-to-entitlement mappings drift per business unit, and IGA frequently needs additional context (cost center, manager, location) that arrives later in the journey. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding and HCM → Payroll handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Promotion (mover event) requires entitlement re-evaluation: add new role access, revoke prior-role access. SoD risk window during transition.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	Termination in HCM must immediately revoke identity access in IGA: disable account, remove group memberships, terminate app-level entitlements. Failure modes: contractor terminations not flowing (different HCM table); rehires confuse the de-provisioning idempotency; access lingers after termination is the canonical audit finding.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employment_event.recorded	recorded (signal)	employment_events	event_stream	high	Transfer, leave-start, leave-return, and FTE changes all require IGA re-evaluation. Mover events are the highest-volume IGA workload.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-AUTO-PROVISIONING	employment_contract.expired	(state_change)	employment_contracts	event_stream	high	Contractor/fixed-term contract expiry must trigger access deprovisioning. Often missed when the term-end is silently extended without IGA notification.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	New worker record surfaces in self-service: manager dashboard, new-hire welcome surface, lifecycle task inbox. In-process state read; no message bus.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	Termination drives the offboarding self-service flow: exit-interview prompt, equipment-return task, knowledge-handoff surfaces in the lifecycle workflow module.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employment_event.recorded	recorded (signal)	employment_events	lifecycle_progression	low	Posted employment event (transfer, FTE change, leave, promotion) surfaces on employee and manager dashboards and feeds lifecycle approval routing.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	medium	New employee in HCM triggers comp profile activation in Payroll: gross-to-net rules selected by jurisdiction, deductions initialised, bank account and tax setup collected via Onboarding flow. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding handoff; both subscribe to the employee.created event.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Promotion typically includes salary change. Effective-dated change must flow to PAYROLL with retroactive handling.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination drives final pay (severance, accrued PTO payout, prorated bonus). Cross-vendor stack when HCM and PAYROLL are different vendors; retro-adjustments are common.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employment_event.recorded	recorded (signal)	employment_events	event_stream	medium	Any employment-change event (transfer, FTE change, leave) needs PAYROLL processing for proration and effective dating.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-EARNINGS-DEDUCTIONS	employment_contract.executed	(state_change)	employment_contracts	event_stream	medium	New contract terms (salary, allowances, currency, country) must be processed by PAYROLL with effective date alignment.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-EARNINGS-DEDUCTIONS	employment_contract.expired	(state_change)	employment_contracts	event_stream	medium	Contract expiry stops compensation; final-pay processing similar to termination.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	LMS	LMS-COURSE-DELIVERY	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New-hire creation provisions required-training assignments (compliance, role-based). Drives day-one and 30-day learning workflows.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	low	New employee triggers talent-profile initialisation in Talent Management: career aspirations, mobility preferences, skills profile stubs. Same employee.created trigger as Onboarding / Payroll / IGA handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion updates succession-plan slots and 9-box placement context.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	WFM	(domain-level)	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New employee provisioned in HCM becomes a schedulable resource in WFM - identity, position, base FTE. Mid-shift onboarding and badge-binding are typical edge cases.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New-hire creation provides compensation basis. Bands and grades attach via job profile.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion event triggers off-cycle compensation review (eligibility, band placement, increase recommendation) in COMP-MGMT.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employment_contract.executed	(state_change)	employment_contracts	event_stream	low	Executed contract carries comp basis; COMP-MGMT links compensation statement and ongoing-cycle eligibility.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	New-hire creation seeds benefits eligibility (waiting periods, default elections). Drives carrier feed setup at end of new-hire window.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination triggers benefits termination, COBRA / equivalent notices, and dependent coverage decisions. Late notifications cause coverage gaps.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employment_event.recorded	recorded (signal)	employment_events	event_stream	medium	Status changes (FTE, leave) impact benefits eligibility. Carrier feeds may need refresh.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PA	PA-WORKFORCE-METRICS	employment_event.recorded	recorded (signal)	employment_events	event_stream	low	HCM publishes employment events (hire, promotion, transfer, leave, termination) onto a stream that PA consumes to refresh KPIs (tenure, time-in-level, mobility rate, attrition). Low friction because PA tools tend to be designed around this exact ingestion pattern.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	EXPENSE	(domain-level)	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination triggers EXPENSE corporate-card deactivation and outstanding-report close-out.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-PROJECT-DELIVERY	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Terminated employee may be the assignee on open project_tasks. PROJECT-DELIVERY needs to surface affected tasks for reassignment or completion handover.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	ML attrition score crosses high threshold. PSA resource managers may proactively rebalance assignments away from at-risk consultants on critical engagements. High friction: probabilistic→deterministic pattern (score requires judgment call), false-positive volume can swamp the staffing queue.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New consultant hired. PSA resource pool adds the employee as available capacity; skill inventory record is seeded for downstream certifications.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Consultant promoted (level / job profile change). PSA reevaluates billable rate band and skill inventory; existing project_assignments may need rate revision.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Consultant terminated. PSA must release any active project_assignments, return capacity to bench and re-allocate forecast. Medium friction: leaver-event timing varies (immediate vs notice period) and active assignments may need urgent rebalancing.

6.3 Inbound handoffs (events this scope reacts to)

target module	source domain	source module	trigger_event	transition	payload	integration	friction	description
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-EMPLOYEE-PAY-STATEMENTS	pay_cycle.closed	closed (state_change)	pay_slips	event_stream	low	Pay slips published; HCM employee-self-service reflects.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-EMPLOYEE-PAY-STATEMENTS	pay_slip.published	published (state_change)	pay_slips	event_stream	low	Pay slip published: HCM worker record refreshes YTD earnings, taxes, and deductions for self-service display and downstream comp analytics.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	ATS	ATS-CANDIDATE-CRM	candidate.hired	hired (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Candidate-to-employee conversion: hired candidate from ATS triggers employee-record creation in HCM. Field mapping (candidate → employee) is rarely perfect; missing fields (legal name spelling, work-eligibility detail, tax IDs) get collected in the Onboarding journey and back-filled into HCM.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	merit_cycle.approved	approved (state_change)	employees	event_stream	low	Cycle-close pay-rate changes post to the worker record (base salary, bonus target, equity guideline).
HCM-CORE-WORKER	EMP-EXP	EMP-EXP-CONTINUOUS-LISTEN	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	api_call	high	Attrition-risk inference from engagement signals surfaces to managers via HCM dashboards. Probabilistic-signal → deterministic-action pattern: a risk score is not a directive; intervention is gated by manager judgment, data-privacy rules (anonymity floor), and DEI-bias concerns.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PA	PA-WORKFORCE-METRICS	people_kpi.snapshot_published	(lifecycle)	people_kpis	batch_sync	low	Refreshed people-KPI snapshot lands; HCM dashboards and workforce scorecards re-render against the new period.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PA	PA-PREDICTIVE-MODELS	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	Flight-risk score flagged on employee; HR-business-partner motion required. Probabilistic-signal-to-deterministic-action friction shape; false-positive volume drives mistrust.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	CWM	CWM-WORKER-SOURCING	worker.tenure_threshold	(threshold)	contingent_workers	manual_handoff	high	Contingent worker crossing co-employment-risk tenure threshold (typically 18-24 months) must be reclassified, off-boarded, or converted. Cross-vendor stack with same logical entity: VMS and HCM rarely share identity; the watch-list is built by exception report and processed manually.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	project_assignment.confirmed	(state_change)	project_assignments	event_stream	medium	Confirmed assignments decrement available capacity in HCM and link the consultant’s calendar to the engagement. Friction stems from PSA and HCM frequently being separate vendors with different resource models.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	project_resource_allocation.committed	(state_change)	project_resource_allocations	event_stream	medium	Committed allocations book named hours in HCM’s capacity view, locking the resource against other demand.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	resource_skill_inventory.updated	(state_change)	resource_skill_inventories	api_call	medium	Updated skill inventory enriches the HCM talent profile so non-billable internal moves and career planning use the same skill graph.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	MDM	(domain-level)	employee_golden_record.created	active (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	medium	Resolved identity → HCM links operational HR record.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	MDM	(domain-level)	source_record.merged_to_golden	(lifecycle)	source_records	event_stream	medium	Employee record merge updates HCM canonical employee identity used downstream by payroll and IGA.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	ONBOARDING	ONB-DOCUMENT-INTAKE	onboarding_document_collection.completed	(state_change)	onboarding_document_collections	event_stream	low	All new-hire docs collected; HCM finalizes the employee record.
