Rehire or Reinstatement Issues 8
Auto-Term Review the jobs that Auto-Termed at then end of March Ensure that all were ending and termed appropriately If any jobs were not intended to end determine if reinstatement or rehire is appropriate. 9
Rehire vs. Reinstatement Reinstatement is used when a job has been terminated in error, usually Auto-Term, and need the person to be reinstated to their former position # and no break in service. Smart HR template Rehire_REI , Effective Date must be same date as the effective date of the termination. Position # must be the same as the employee held before terminated. Add comments to assist Path Center in processing A UCPC case will need to be opened to ask that benefits be reinstated as benefits were ended with the termination. This may require follow-up call to UCPC if employee has immediate need for benefits. Rehire is used when a person has been terminated but is moving to a new position # or other changes in their employment vs. the job that was terminated. If rehire is processed after termination, then benefits case may need to be opened to ensure benefits are reinstated. 10

When making retroactive job changes in PayPath, all values need to be updated to reflect the correct values as of the effective date being entered A retroactive change is a change that pre-dates the current top of stack row When submitting a job change in PayPath, the system will populate all the values from the top of stack row even if it is from a future effective dated row Users must update EVERY value to be correct for the retro dated change because the system will carry ALL populated values back to the effective date entered Once the Job Data tab is updated, the initiator should review the Workforce Job Summary page to determine if additional PayPath updates are required to future dated rows Example: o The top of stack row is for today s date o The system will display all the values from the top of stack row o If a retroactive job change is submitted to change the empl class and only that value is updated, the system will update all other populated values to the retroactive date as well (e.g. compensation, reports to, etc.) 22
