Staffology Payroll Integration

Reinstating a leaver

• We have improved the integration process to ensure that when a leaver is reinstated, their new employee record correctly syncs with Payroll.

  Previously, some customers experienced an issue where the reinstated employee was mistakenly linked to their old Payroll ID instead of generating a new one.

  With this update:

  • When an employee’s Termination Date The last day of an employee's employment and the day their contract is terminated. is reached, the Exclude from Integration checkbox now automatically sets.

  • If the leaver's record has already synced to Staffology Payroll, you cannot edit their Termination Date.

  • When reinstating a leaver, the system now generates a new Payroll Number alongside the new Employee Number, preventing any linkage to their previous record.

  To reinstate a leaver:

  1. Sign in to your HR software.

  2. Go to Directories > Leavers.

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

     

  4. Open the Personal tab.

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

     The Re-instate Leaver screen opens.

  6. Enter the employee’s Start Date (their re-employment date).

  7. Update the Cont. Service Date, if necessary.

  8. Select Re-instate.

     What happens next?

     • The system creates a new active employee record with a new Employee Number and Payroll Number.

     • All documents and absences When an employee or worker is absent from work. This can be for a variety of reasons. stay with the active employee.

     • The original leaver record remains in the Leavers Directory, showing when the employee was not working.

  9. Open the reinstated employee's Personal tab.

     Next Steps for the reinstated employee

  10. Select Actions and choose Send Invitation Email.

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