A terminated employee has rejoined the company. He was reactivated on the payroll system - how to amend?

He hasn't been paid since returning and I understand he should be put on as a new employee. Is there a way to roll back his reactivation - can I terminate back to the original date and add him as a new employee?

Hi M for TF

We apologise for the previous post. When an employee is re-employed they will have to be classed as a new employee, they should not be re-activated as it causes issues including that which you have experienced.

We advise you to rollback/delete the payroll to when the employee was reactivated in

and use the 'Terminate button' on the employee itself instead of the one on the pay run, then create a new employee.

Glad to see you again, @M for TF.

Yes, you can add a terminated employee as new and enter the P45 information. This way, you won't have any issues with the HMRC reporting.

Thank you but this has posed another issue.

The P45 which was issued in December appears to have been reset (and in effect erased) by the system. This is not correct apropos reporting to HMRC.
