you used to right click on the employees name and you would be able to rehire them.

    if you edit their name and delete the date released and make them active if inactive they will appear in employees list

    thanks but I wanted to have record of their original hire date and their new hire date. I suppose I will have to write it in the notes :-(

    yes that is a failing. You can always just look at the pay dates from previous years to check that info

    Also a failing is the Cessation Type isn't selected when terminating an employee

    Yes, unfortunately, those fields were locked when the rehire wizard was removed since they depended on it.

    I’ll make sure to note this feedback and pass it along to our development team.


    Thanks,

    @Jason_Z From previous posts here, the removal of this function (& many have stated this was actually an issue even before that) appears to have also had a problematic, flow-on impact in STP2 as any prior ETP payment data gets removed in the subsequent STP submissions after rehiring! 😩

    This is presumably because that data relies on the permanent presence of Release (Termination) Date(s) !!!! 😣

    @Acctd4 please correct me if I'm wrong as you'll likely know better, but couldn't that situation be avoided by just creating a new employee record rather than reusing the same one?

    @Eric Murphy Creating a new employee isn’t ideal & should be a last-resort-workaround only. This is because STP relies on the Employee Number & may not simply merge, but instead may create a new/duplicate submission!

    You also end up with 2 Employee List name records - instead of 1 - making reporting - & later historical lookup - more cumbersome 🀨
