HR Best Practise

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.

Re-activating an employee

Click the People menu.
Click the Employee List submenu.
Click the Actions button.
Click the Re-active Employee button.
Choose from the following options:
- No, I do not want to trigger onboarding checklists.
- Yes, I want to trigger onboarding checklists.
Click the Re-Activate button.

So you have now re-activated an employee and you are now wondering, what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

Managing assigned certifications | HR Employee File This feature allows your employees to complete their assigned certifications, and view a history log of their uploaded documentation.
Managing your bank account details | HR Employee File This feature allows you to add a new bank account, enter the account number, and the amount to pay into each account.
