Question

How do I re-activate a terminated employee?

Answer

You can re-activate a terminated employee from the Personnel Overview page by using the Re-activation feature.

Important

You can only use the re-activation feature if the employee status shows as terminated.

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.

  1. Click the   People menu.
  2. Click the Employee List submenu.
  3. Filter by Employee Status.
  4. Choose to include Terminated employees from the drop-down menu.
