Use Undo termination to correct an incorrectly recorded exit on the current terminated employment period. Use Reinstate employee for a return after termination, retaining the earlier employment period and its settlement history. Check the authorised instruction before choosing the action.

Correct an erroneous termination

  1. Inspect the current terminated period

    Find the employee using the status filter and review the termination date, reason, settlement, and payroll history. Only the current terminated period can be restored. An archived employee is read-only for this action, and a later rehire must remain a separate period.

  2. Record the correction reason

    Select Undo termination, enter the Correction reason, and confirm the action. A reason is required and cannot exceed 250 characters. The app checks the current period, settlement, and related source state before applying the audited correction.

  3. Review the result

    Check the restored employment state, period dates, settlement history, and affected payroll participation. If the period changed during review, reload before retrying. Follow any displayed blocking reason rather than changing unrelated records to force the action.

Record a return to employment

Select Reinstate employee when the employee returns, and complete the displayed reinstatement confirmation. The reinstatement date must follow the termination date. Review the new/current employment period, compensation, primary schedule assignments, payroll readiness, and annual PAYE context before including the employee in another run. The earlier terminated period and its settlement remain available for review.

Neither action rewrites finalised payroll. Open affected editable drafts and follow their refresh and recalculation instructions; review the actual employee set before finalisation.
