Reinstating Leavers

If an employee leaves and returns to your company, there are two ways you can add their details back into the system:

  1. Reinstate a Leaver

  2. Create a new Employee Record

Reinstate a Leaver

Follow these steps to reinstate a former employee in Staffology HR.

Locate and edit the leaver

  1. Sign in to IRIS HR Professional.

  2. Go to Directories > Leavers.

  3. Select the leaver and choose Edit (or the edit icon next to their name).

     

Reinstate the employee

  1. Open the Personal tab.

  2. Select Re-instate Leaver at the bottom of the screen.

  3. On the Re-instate Leaver screen, enter:

    • Start Date (their re-employment date).

    • Cont. Service Date, if needed.

  4. Select Re-instate.

    What happens next?

    Send Invitation Email

  5. Open the reinstated employee's Personal tab.

  6. Select Actions and choose Send Invitation Email.

    • This allows the employee to create their new sign-in details to access the system.

Create a new Employee Record

If the above does not suit your needs and you need the leaver's record to retain the previous data:

  1. Sign in to IRIS HR Professional.

  2. Go to Directories > Leavers.

  3. Select the required employee and choose Edit or select the edit icon displayed on their name:

  4. Choose Personal.

  5. Update the Employee Number to show that it is a leaver record, for example, 504L.

    The Employee Number field in the Personal tab.

  6. Go to Directories > Create New.

  7. Create a new record for the leaver and add the original Employee Number.

    Although you are creating a new record for the employee, they cannot have the same Payroll Number as they had before. You must add a new one in the employee's Payroll tab. This is for HMRC reporting purposes.

  8. Go to Actions and select Send Invitation Email.

    This allows the employee to create their new login details to access the system.

Payroll integration

If your system is integrated with a payroll software and you are re-instating a leaver, you must add a new Payroll Number in the employee's record. This is for HMRC reporting purposes
