Terminating An Employee

If an employee leaves your payroll, you can use the system to "terminate" their employment. You'll use this if an employee stops working with you, goes on maternity leave or requires you to generate a Record of Employment for them.   

Don't forget - you should always pay out any outstanding payroll, vacation, or any other amounts owed before terminating! For more info, follow our guide on paying out vacation pay. If you're unsure about severance and termination pay, check out our Offboarding Assistant! We're here to keep you compliant.
