Ending Voluntary Deductions on Terminated Employees

unknown

We've recently undergone a data scrubbing project where we discovered our deductions (PR14) were out of sync with our voluntary deduction authorizations because PR14 was not ending a deduction when an employee terminated. According to Lawson Support, this functionality is not available (they encouraged us to submit an enhancement request).

I'm curious as to how other organizations end voluntary (non-benefits) deductions when employees leave the organization. Are you manually ending all deductions when you process a termination? We have lots of term/rehire activity so it can be a problem for us if we rehire an employee and their voluntary deductions from their previous employment history is reactivated without their knowledge or consent.

We have set up some deductions as benefit plans to avoid this (i.e. donations to our Foundation/United Way). This also allows employees to sign up through benefit self service. For the few deductions we have that are not tied to benefit plans, we run audits to find them and manually turn them off. Luckily, there are not many of these.

We have similar issues with rates set up on HR14 Alternate Rates. This too is a manual process but we address it as part of the rehire process.
