Inactivating or reactivating an employee

When you no longer want an employee to appear on Ajera windows and reports, or be able to log in to Ajera, do one of the following:

Make the employee inactive
Terminate the employee

The way you reinstate information for an employee depends on the way you inactivate it:

If you made the employee inactive, you can reactivate the employee.
If you terminated the employee, you must rehire the employee.

You cannot simply reactivate an employee you terminated; you must rehire the employee. In this way, Ajera ensures that you have a record of both the termination and rehire date.

Ajera prints W-2 forms for employees if you paid them in the year they were inactivated or terminated.
