What is the datatype of doa?

Run this and see if you get error
select convert(numeric(2,1), datediff(month, cast('2004-04-01' as Datetime), getdate())/12.0) as YearsOfExp
select Round(datediff(month, cast('2004-04-01' as Datetime), getdate())/12.0,1) as YearsOfExp

This should work fine:

select
	convert(numeric(4,1), datediff(month, doa, getdate())/12.0) as YearsOfExp
From gworker
