Example: Reinstate an Employee That Left

Example: Reinstate an Employee That Left

This example explains how to reinstate an employee that previously left, while keeping their historical data and unique identifiers. You can reinstate employees whose employee record is still present in your employee data with a value in the
Separation date
 attribute field. It's not possible to reinstate an employee after deleting their employee record entirely.
An employee who left your organization has returned and will be using the same employee number and email as before. Their employee record currently classifies as
Left
 under the
Separation date
 attribute, so you need to reinstate them as a current employee.
  1. Go to
    Administration
    Employees
    .
  2. Select the
    Employment Status
     filter.
  3. Select
    No longer employed
    .
  4. Search the name of the employee.
  5. Open their employee record.
  6. Click the
    Separation date
     field.
  7. Press the backspace button to empty the contents of the field.
  8. Press
    Save changes
    .
Removing the separation date on an employee record indicates to Peakon that it's a current employee. You can add the employee to a survey round instantly, if there’s an open round. If the employee has a personal dashboard, they can also view their historical scores and comments from before the separation. The system will treat the employee as though they never left.
If the employee was a manager and they still have employees reporting to them, their reporting line segment will also reinstate. The segment will contain the historical scores and comments of the team, but not the conversations, acknowledgments and actions that the manager made. If the manager was previously in multiple access control groups, add them again manually.
