Understanding Employee Termination

A terminated employee is an employee who no longer works for your organization.

Entering termination information allows you to:

• Keep your employee information current.

• Report on terminated employees.

• Prevent the employee from receiving payments (if you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system).

You have two options for terminating an employee. You can manually terminate an employee or, if workflow is enabled, you can simplify the termination process by using workflow. If the software is set up to track employees and jobs with requisitions, and a separating employee is included on a requisition, the system can automatically include the requisition process in the termination process.

The initial task for terminating an employee is the same for both options. The two options occur with the administrative tasks after you terminate an employee. If you choose to terminate an employee manually, you need to manually perform these tasks that are associated with terminating an employee:

• Contact supervisors and benefits administrators.

• Calculate the employee's unpaid time, vacation, holiday, and sick accruals.

If you use workflow to terminate an employee, workflow can automatically notify the appropriate parties of the termination with electronic messages and process any unpaid time and accruals.

Workflow can be set up to complete one or any combination of these administrative tasks automatically after you terminate an employee. For example, workflow can be set up to pay or not pay for vacation accruals and to notify certain people.
