MYOB Acumatica — Workforce Management requires each employee record to have a unique login username, either an email address of phone number.
If you are rehiring a previously terminated employee, follow the Rehiring terminated employees process to reinstate their old employee record.
Reusing email addresses outside of rehiring is not recommended, but can sometimes be required as a workaround if a test record is accidentally created with a real email address.
To reuse an email address for a new employee record
-
If the old employee record is already deleted, restore it.
See Deleting and restoring employee records. -
Change the old record’s login username to free up the one you want to use.
-
You can use a spare email address or mobile phone number, or just add a marker (e.g. “.old”) to the end of the existing address.
-
Another option is to use a plus sign to make a new version of the same email address (e.g. employee+old@company.com as a replacement for employee@company.com).
This way emails will still go through. -
See Changing your username or password for details.
-
-
Delete the old employee record.
-
Create a new employee record.
The original email address is now freed up for use.
