- From the dashboard, select the Employee Changes > Terminate an Employee link
- You will be taken to a list of all the active employees, check the box next to the employee name you need to terminate, then click
on the top right
- On the next screen, enter the Termination Date and click
-
- Additional information may need to be collected if the HRIS module is active (i.e. Reason, Notes, Rehireable, etc)
-
- Next, the system will have you review Items to Resolve (Common Items To Resolve relate to accrual balances, time entries after the termination date, or manager assignments)
-
-
- For SICK, select ‘Ignore’. Since sick time is not required to be paid out at termination, this balance will remain. If re-hired in the future, the balance will begin again at 0.
- For VACATION, it is a bit more complicated. You may want to ‘Rollback’ if the hours have been accrued past terminated date or you may want to ‘Calculate and Update’ if the hours are not accrued up to the terminated date. Review the following scenarios:
-
- If Vacation is accrued at the end of each pay period and the employee is terminated BEFORE the end of the pay period, you can accrue up to termination date to give a partial accrual for their last pay period
-
- i.e.: You terminate an employee as of 1/28. The pay period was 1/16-1/31, but this employee was terminated 3 days before the pay period ended. If you select ‘Rollback’ this will give them a partial accrual for the 8 days they were active in that pay period (1/16-1/28). So, rather than the employee gaining 1.67 hours for the entire period of 1/16-1/31, they would accrue a partial amount of 1.36 hours for the partial pay period of 1/16-1/28.
**Note: The ‘Updated To Date’ means up to but not including, so the date 1/29 means the employee’s balance has been updated to 1/28**

-
- If Vacation is accrued at the end of each pay period and the employee is terminated AFTER the pay period has ended, you can accrue a partial amount for the period they were active outside the pay period or leave their current balance since they completed the entire pay period
-
- i.e.: You terminate an employee as of 2/3. The pay period was 1/16-1/31 and this employee worked that entire pay period. If you select ‘Ignore’ this will allow the employee to keep their existing balance. So, the employee would keep their full accrual of 1.67 hours for the pay period 1/16-1/31. If 'Calculate and Update' is selected it will accrue an additional partial amount for the time they were active outside the pay period from 2/1-2/3 to give an exact balance at termination.

-
- If the accruals are annually dumped and the employee is terminated mid-year.
-
- i.e.: Employee receives 40 hours on 1/1 annually then is terminated 7/5. If you select ‘Rollback’, this option will remove hours from their current balance to only give them a partial accrual from 1/1-7/5. If you select ‘Ignore’ it will allow them to keep all 40 hours accrued as of 1/1 even though they did not work the entire year.
