Getting started

- Click the employee that needs to be terminated.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- Click Terminate Employee.
- Enter a termination date.
- Enter a termination reason (optional).
Note: This process will terminate the employee and mark them as inactive. This will mean that they are no longer eligible to be included in pay runs.

- Log into your Employment Hero Payroll platform.
- Click the Pay Run menu.
