NZ Payroll: Reinstate terminated employees after 30 days
Ability in payroll to reinstate terminated employees past the 30 days Xero currently allows. Many businesses have seasonal workers or students who just work holidays, being able to reinstate the employee with all their information would be much easier than having to add them as a new employee every time they are re-employed. Most other payroll systems allow reinstatement of terminated employees.

This has created numerous issues when linked with an external rostering app, and also employment history all needs to be re-entered into the new profile manually. It would be far preferrable to be able to reinstate the profile, and just acknowledge those critical details that need to be updated are current, by either amending the details, or selecting a check box.

Really need the ability to reinstate contractors! Having to re load them everytime is a nightmare especially have to go in and delete their email off the old entry so can still use it when you add them again! What a nightmare. Also the search engine on xero is rubbish. I searched to see if I could reinstate contactors and it brought up so many responses that weren't related what so ever to payroll!

We have many transient contractors - performing arts company. We delete them to ensure that our pay run is not extensive but then have to add them back. It is a waste of time.

We are a seasonal company and to re-enter the information takes up a lot of wasted time when its already in the system.

It is very frustrating having to create new records each time a contractor comes back onto our books. I would think that something would have been done about this by now.

We are a seasonal business and I've just discovered all my returning employees I have to re-enter as new employees! There's a lot of work involved with re-entering IRD numbers, bank account numbers etc. All things that either don't change or rarely change. And to pile it on, you also have to go back and delete their email address to be able to enter it again?? Ridiculous, I'm very unhappy I can't simply add a new start date like every other payroll system I've used (and re-check their details of course).
What a waste of time, I'm really disappointed in this.
