Helpful Hint
Reactivating a terminated employee will allow you to keep the employee's original login/account email. When the reactivated employee logs in again, it is important that you remind them to update any personal details which may have changed.
In case you need to change their account email, we recommend doing that before reactivating their profile. This way, they only need to access their new email address to confirm the change.
