When rehiring a former employee, it's important to watch out for duplicate entries of their identity information. Duplicate entries can cause problems like incorrect data, wasting resources, security risks, and compliance issues. It's crucial to have a process in place to identify and remove these duplicates to avoid such problems.
The RehireCheck feature in the Add Employee page enables you to compare key identifiers, such as employee name, social security number, or employee ID, for new records with existing records in the system. This avoids creating multiple records for the same employee and errors in payroll processing and other HR-related tasks.
To view theย Add Employeeย page, navigate toย Employeeย >ย Mainย >ย Employee Directory page > Add Employee button.ย
The RehireCheck feature is enabled by default in your account. If you cannot find it, you can enable the feature. Also, before adding a former employee as a new employee, you must remove the employeeโs separation details. After enabling the feature and removing the earlier separation details, perform the following actions to add the former employee as a new one.
From the greytHR Admin login, navigate to Employeeย >ย Mainย >ย Employee Directory page > Add Employee button.ย Alternatively, you can also navigate to Search Actions > search "Add Employee". A form appears.
Under Step 1: Rehire Check, enter the Name, Date Of Birth, Aadhaar Number, and PAN Number in their respective fields.
Note: For the default accounts, only the Aadhaar Number field will be visible.ย
Click Check to check for any duplicate entries. A list of employee records matching with given details appears.
Note: The employee records include both exited and active employees.ย
