Add Active Status for New Employee
Add an Active Status when entering a new employee record manually or rehiring an employee.
If the employee is already active but changing jobs, do not add a new Active Status. Use the Add Job button to add a new job to an existing Status. See the Job Changes article for more help.
Add New Active Status
Select the button to add a new Active Status to the employee record. Complete the Status and Job Information form and Save.
The Salary field under Job Info represents the employee's current salary. The option to record a calendar year or plan year salary, for purposes of benefit calculation, will be reviewed later.
Dates in the Status section record actual dates when events occur. For example, Termination date is typically the last day the employee worked. A Hire Date is typically the same as the Job Start Date (for a new hire). In other words, do not use dates related to benefits eligibility in the Status section. Eligibility is controlled separately, by the Benefit Class.
After adding a new Active Status, remember to also add a Benefit Class.
