Reactivating a rehired employee in MYOB Acumatica — Payroll

   • Standard Pay

   • Taxation

   • Employment Settings

   • Employee Defaults

   • Payroll Tax

   • Pay Distribution

   • Outstanding Actions.

   To update several settings at once, consider reapplying an employee profile template.

3. Check the employee’s entitlement balances and do an adjustment to clear any outstanding sick leave.

   • Most other leave types should be cleared on termination, but make any other adjustments as needed.

   • If you’re an Australian company using continuous leave, contact your support person for help with the adustment.

4. In New Zealand, set up the employee’s Kiwisaver again. See Setting up employees for KiwiSaver.

5. Go to Pay Details and remove the employee’s employment end dates.

   • In the Pay Groups tab, clear the Expiry Date.

     

   • In the Employment tab, clear the Employee end date.

     

6. To reactivate the employee, open the Employees form and update their record.

   • In the History tab, add a new row with their new start date. Select Rehire for the start reason.

The employee is now active in both systems and their timesheets, approved leave and employee details will synchronise as normal.
