Cleanse personnel data to remove whitespaces and $ signs. Join two data sets, use 2 datetime functions to make both dates date columns, select to rename columns and then field summary tool to join the answer with my workflow. All record joined.

Not hard. But I have to say there's duplicate employee number. This is severe problem when we do actual work.
