Reversing or Editing a Termination
The steps to reverse or edit an employee's termination differ depending on whether or not the pay containing their termination has been completed.
If the pay is still open
Go to the employee's current pay and click Termination on the toolbar to open
the Termination window.
- To edit the termination, enter new details, then click Save & Close to re-generate the termination pay items.
- To reverse the termination, click the Delete icon on the Termination window. This will remove all termination pay items from the employee's pay.
If the pay has been completed
If the pay has been completed, you will need to reverse the pay. Reversing a pay with
a termination in it undoes all changes to the employee record that were made as part
of the termination. The replacement pay that is generated will contain all of the
termination pay items from the pay that was reversed. You can then click the
Termination button in the employee's current pay to open the Termination
window and edit or delete the termination as necessary. If you keep the termination
in the replacement pay, then when it is completed, the employee's record will be set
back to inactive.
Note: For Australian employees, when a termination is reversed, the
employee's next pay run will un-finalise the employee in Single Touch Payroll
reporting. They will see a continuation of their YTD balance in their myGov
account.
If you don't want to reverse an entire pay run
Alternatively, you can adjust a completed pay for one or more employees. If that pay, or any subsequent pay for the employee, has a saved termination, then make sure to recalculate it. The tax-free components and/or concessional tax rates may have changed.
