# Terminated Employees
{{variable.HR Bold}} enables users to manage previously terminated employees with accuracy and compliance.
**This allows for:**
* [Re-employing former staff](/hr/docs/terminated-employees#reemploying-terminated-employee)
* [Controlling the visibility of terminated records](/hr/docs/terminated-employees#displaying-or-hiding-terminated-employees)
* [Making post-termination adjustments](/hr/docs/terminated-employees#additional-after-termination-payments-or-adjustments)
These features support **clear employment history**, **correct income reporting** and **eliminates payroll processing errors**.
## Re-Employing Terminated Employees
If a previously terminated employee returns to the business, they must be set up as a **new employee record**.
While the same name may be reused, the **Employee Code must be different**.
**This is necessary for several reasons:**
* Each employment period must have a distinct **Start Date** and **Termination Date**, clearly identifying any employment gaps.
* Separate periods are important for providing accurate **employment history** if requested.
* The employee’s **income statements** in **myGov** will display separate employment periods, even within the same financial year.
* It eliminates the risk of errors related to **leave accruals**, **pay periods** and **taxation**, especially when reusing outdated employee data.
:::(Warning) (Warning)
A terminated employee record should **never be reactivated** for a new employment period.

## Hiding and Displaying Terminated Employees
Employees terminated during the **current tax year** will continue to appear in the **Employee Maintenance** list.
These entries are marked with a red **"Terminated on dd/mm/yyyy"** status label.
After the **End of Year Close-off**, terminated employees will be hidden by default.
You can display them by ticking the **"Show any previously Terminated Employees"** checkbox at the top of the list.
## Additional After Termination Payments or Adjustments
Once a **Termination Payrun** has been processed for an employee, you can no longer include them in a **Normal Payrun**.
However, if adjustments or extra payments are required (e.g. underpayments, missed entitlements), you can address these by processing another **Termination Payrun** for the same employee.
Please refer to the [Termination Pay Corrections](/hr/docs/termination-pay-corrections) guide for detailed instructions.
:::(Warning) (Tip)
**Do not create a new employee record** to process an adjustment for a previously terminated employee.
