Initiating Employee Terminations

Access the Employee form.

Pay Status

Enter the code used to indicate whether an employee's pay status is active or inactive. Codes for active pay status employees are numeric, and codes for inactive pay status employees are alphabetic. The system omits all employees with alphabetic pay status codes from the payroll run.

See also Employment Status (EST) and Change Reason (TRS).

Termination Date

Enter the date that the employee was terminated, if applicable.

Expected Recall Date

Enter the date on which the employee can be recalled for employment, if known.

Employee Benefit Status

Enter a code from UDC 06/EA that specifies an employee status, such as new hire or rehire. The system uses this value as it searches and tests for benefits eligibility.

Do not change the codes that are hard-coded, such as A (Active) and X (Terminated). These are required codes in the system.

Move to Applicant Pool

Enter a code that you use to indicate whether a terminated employee should be moved into the applicant pool. When you move an employee to the applicant pool, the system changes the employee search type to applicant (A) and adds a record to the Applicant Master (F08401). If you do not move the employee to the applicant pool, the system changes the employee search type to terminated (X).

Select this option to allow an employee to become an eligible applicant for your organization after termination.

Note: If you are using workflow, a small form appears stating that the termination is pending.If the software is set up to track requisition information, and the employee who is separating from the organization is set up on a requisition, the system automatically displays the Requisition Information program (P08102) so a requisition can be added for the terminated employee's position.
