How do I terminate a rehired employee?

If an employee has already been terminated in the system using the Termination Wizard at some point in the past, you will need to perform a manual termination to terminate the former employee an additional time in the system.

To perform a manual termination:

1. Navigate to the rehired employee you wish to terminate and click either Edit Profile or click the 3 dots next to the employee’s name and then Edit Profile.


2. Update the User Status field to Inactive.
 
 

3. Update the Departure Date.

4. Select the Termination Reason.

5. Click Save to save changes on employee profile.

6. Scroll down to the Current Payroll Information section at the bottom of the employee’s profile. Click Edit > uncheck the Include in Payroll box > Save.


7. If the employee has benefit plans to terminate, assign the Termination Reason from the dropdown selection under the Employee > General tab in Namely Payroll and select Terminate Plans.

Once you have made the updates to the employee’s profile, and terminated the employee’s benefits, you will need to manually add the employee to the payroll needed after the termination date. We suggest updating the person in charge of processing payroll of the employee, to ensure they are not missed for their final payroll date.
