Question
How do I reactivate a terminated employee?
Answer
You may rehire employees that have previously left the business. Deactivation does not delete an employee's file completely. Reactivation adds the employee back into your Payroll platform without having to re-add their personal details. Reactivating a previous employee when they return will also make them eligible for pay runs again.
Warning
Reactivated employees will have the same employment type as when you initially terminated them. You need to update their employment type if there have been any adjustments after reactivation.
Helpful Hint
If you are using both Employment Hero HR and Payroll platforms, use the HR platform to onboard the employee, or sync the reactivated employee via the Payroll platform.
- Log into your Employment Hero Payroll platform.
- Click the Employees menu.
- Click the Show Terminated Employees button.
- Click the employee that you would like to reactivate.
- At the bottom of the page, click the Reactivate Employee button.
- Click the Activate button.
