Reproduced verbatim from ../reference/sn-integration-v1.md, F-05.

Priority: High — Enterprise Side Car Direction: Novaworks → HRSD Deployment Target: Enterprise

Why we're building it (company): Worker Activation is one of the highest-value HR events in an enterprise — it triggers provisioning, system access, benefits enrollment, and onboarding workflows. A proper messaging and integration of Novaworks worker activation into broader HRSD Enterprise Life Cycle Events and Journeys is required when we get to enterprise customers.

Why it matters (customer): New hire onboarding that previously required manual HRSD entries or custom integrations gets handled by Novaworks agents — with policy enforcement applied before any record is written.

What it does: - Novaworks agent submits Worker Activation event to HRSD Enterprise via API on completion of onboarding workflow - Activation payload maps to HRSD worker record schema - Pre-submission policy check: Novaworks Policy Engine validates activation data before write - Activation status (success/failure) returned to Novaworks and surfaced to HR admin - Failure path: agent alerts HR agent or escalates via ticketing module (per Ticketing Integration PRD) - It should be possible for Novaworks worker activation to be part of the overall ServiceNow journey.

NOTE: HRSD Enterprise Worker Activation API schema and required entitlements must be confirmed. The policy enforcement step pre-write is a differentiator and should be preserved — not simplified away in v1.
