Paying a terminated employee in PayGlobal

Paying a terminated employee in PayGlobal

You can pay a terminated employee in PayGlobal without reversing or deleting their termination date. Terminated employees can still receive post‑termination payments such as adjustments, back pay and commission, as long as the pay contains a termination transaction (X‑type allowance).

How to do it

1. Open the relevant pay sequence in Transaction View.

2. Select the terminated employee you need to pay.

   • If they don’t appear, check whether your Transaction View Query is filtering out terminated employees (for example, a query where Termination date is empty). Use a query/layout that includes terminated employees when you need to pay them.

3. Insert a termination‑type (X‑type) allowance in the pay for that employee.

   • In many databases this is the standard termination allowance (for example, TERM with Type = X. Termination).

4. Add any extra earnings or adjustments you need for that employee.

   • You can enter any type of transaction after termination, but the pay will only process successfully if it includes a termination transaction for that employee.

5. Process and close the pay as normal.

   • Pay processing will fail for a terminated employee if there is no X‑type termination transaction for them in that pay sequence.

Important Note

You do not need to remove or change the Termination date on the employee’s record to pay them. PayGlobal explicitly allows payments to employees who already have a Termination date, and even warns that you do not need to remove it in order to pay them.

The employee will remain terminated; you’re just adding an extra payment in a later pay.
