Reactivate
This window is used if an employee has been terminated in error. It can be thought of as the way to "undo" a termination. The reactivation process transitions the employee record to Active to keep all the employee YTD figures and current record set up.
Prerequisites
- The employee must be terminated.
Rules and Guidelines
- The employee's status changes from Terminated (T) to Active (A).
- The function does not reverse any final payments made to the employee.
- On completion, the selected employee is reactivated and the message, "Job successfully completed" appears.
- Upon Reactivation, the To date of the effective dated records will change from the previous 'Termination Date' to now be '31/12/9999'.
- Any effective dated records deleted by the Termination process (due to being after the termination date) will NOT be recovered as part of Reactivation. If required, such records need to be added manually.
-
If an employee was on a Salary Code at the time of their termination, then upon reactivation, they will still be on the same Salary Code regardless of whether the Salary Code is still active. If the salary code is not active (i.e. it has been ended), the employee will not be paid in the payrun and the Salary Code will trigger a warning as part of the payroll reports.
