Rehiring employees

To rehire an employee in the system:

  1. Select Maintenance > Employees > Employee Basic Information - Override.
  2. Select the employee who you want to rehire using the Employee lookup, and click Go.
  3. Click Show Overrides.
  4. Navigate to the Employee Overrides section.
  5. Select the Delete check box next to the override that terminated the employee. You can recognize the termination override by the text “+ Termination Date=” . This text is displayed in the Employee Overrides column.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. Select the employee that is being hired again in the Employee field, and click Go.
  8. In the Employee section, ensure:
    • The Termination Date field is set to 01/01/3000.
    • The Status field is set to Active.
Rehiring an employee results in these events:
  • Overrides that were created before the employee was terminated are moved from CANCEL to CANCELLED status as the dates are recalculated.
  • New overrides can be created for the employee.
  • Employee balances that were initially applied to the employee before termination are removed. These balances are not recovered and must be created. For example, if an employee with a balance of 5 sick days and 3 vacation days was terminated, rehiring the employee does not recreate the 5 sick days and 3 vacation days. You must set these values again. See Holiday Management.

In most cases, liability balances are paid out during the termination process and have been zeroed out by the time an employee is rehired.

The rehired employee remains part of the Terminated team. Ensure that you assign the employee to a more appropriate team. See System Security.
