Terminating Employees with Future Timesheets Submitted
When an employee is terminated, any future timesheets they've already submitted, whether approved or still pending, will be removed from HR & Payroll.
However, there's one exception to this rule.
If a terminated employee has submitted a timesheet for a future period in a payroll that’s already been completed and is locked, there are steps to follow based on your unique scenario.
- If the payment has NOT been issued for the employee:
If the payroll is completed and locked but the payment has not been issued yet, we can arrange a stop payment for a service fee. Once that’s done, you can do an off-cycle payment to ensure the employee receives the correct amount for actual hours worked. - If the payment HAS been issued to the employee:
Unfortunately, we cannot reverse the payment once it has been made. In such cases, you'll need to coordinate with the employee directly to recover the funds. However, we can assist by adjusting the Year-to-Date (YTD) records for a nominal service fee.
