Process Change
The employee termination process within Workforce has been changed to an employee separation process. The new separation process is used to separate the employee from one or more payroll companies, and is no longer a single setting that impacts all locations and legal entities associated with that employee.
New Employee Separation Process
In the new employee separation process, 'Separate' is selected from the 'Actions' dropdown menu in the header of the employee's Employee Record.
Selecting 'Separate' opens the separation wizard. The separation wizard guides the user through selecting the payroll companies the employee will be separated from, as well as collecting separation details. Learn more about employee separations here.
Legacy Employee Termination Process
In the legacy process for employee terminations, the 'Status' field in the 'Employment Info' section of the employee's Employee Record was updated to 'Terminated'. Once set to 'Terminated', additional fields were displayed to collect termination details.
Payroll & Employment Statuses
The new employee separation process changes the payroll status and employment status of 'Terminated' to 'Separated'. These statuses are displayed on the Employees page as well as Employee Records.
