Sometimes an ex-employee might come back to work for you again, or you might need to reinstate them as you missed some of the payments due to them before terminating them.

Reinstating an employee is nice and simple, but you should always check the settings again to make sure nothing has changed.

πŸ’‘ If you terminated your employee in error, you can contact PaySauce Support and we can do behind the scenes magic to get the original employee profile back for you.

Steps to reinstate an employee

  1. Go to the Employees section and check on the 'Show Terminated' box in the top right of the screen.

  2. Select the employees name that you want to reinstate, then select the Details tab. Click on Employment, then click on the 'Reinstate Employment' button.

  3. Enter the New Start Date for the employee.

  4. If the payment/deductions are the same tick the box next to 'Keep payments and deductions'.

  5. Click Ok.

The employee will then show in the Active employees list.

Check the employee's settings as these may be different to the original employee set up. If you did not select the 'Keep payments' option, you can add the payments by going to the Payments tab.

If your pay period is not set to automatically show all employees (i.e. you have different employees in different periods) you may need to add the employee to the pay period they belong in.

Go to Run a Pay, click on the Edit pencil next to the pay period dates, scroll down and tick on the box alongside your reinstated employee and click OK.
