Reinstate a leaver
Description

If an employee leaves your company, then rejoins in the same tax year, you must reactivate their existing employee record.

NOTE: If an employee left in a previous tax year they won't have a record in the software for the current tax year. In this instance, you will create a new employee record for them as a new starter.

Cause
Resolution

There are a couple of ways you can reactivate employees who rejoined in the same tax year:

NOTE: As part of the new Revenue requirements, an employee must have a unique Employment ID for each period of employment (or multiple roles) within a company. The Employment ID is not the employee's payroll number (employee code). It is a separate field to indicate how many periods of employment an employee has had in your company.

  1. Click Processing then click Re-Instate Leaver.
  2. Locate an employee that you want to reinstate, then select the Re-Instate check box.
  3. In the New Employment ID box, enter a value using any combination of the following:
    • Upper and lower case letters
    • Digits 0 to 9, and the following special characters - \ _

    The New Employment ID must be different to the value that is held in the Employment ID box.

  4. Repeat these steps for each employee you want to reinstate.
