Rehiring and reinstating an employee

We have a rule where if you leave and come back within 90 days it is as if you never left.

How do other people handle this type of reinstatement? Want to keep things automated. Right now we manually update the adjusted hire date.

We reference adjusted hire date on all benefits and time off eligibility.

We use the dates differently:

Hire date is the original hire date

Adjusted hire date is the most recent hire date

Seniority date is the date referenced for benefits

Anniversary date is the date referenced for the leave plans

It can make things confusing when calculating years of service, but it simplifies accelerated accruals for new hires and reinstated accrual rates for rehires, and for tracking benefit eligibility for status changes (going from ineligible to eligible).

Thanks so much for the quick response.

I believe that is how I handled it in other systems as well. Is there any automation? IE: link adjusted hire and seniority or anniversary so you only have to manually update for those re-instatements?

We do things a little more manually in our companies, and use position control and personnel actions for everything. Our rehire and new hire PAs include all of the dates on them, as does the status change PA. We never update the HR11 directly.

We have a similar rule and we can't figure out a way to turn the benefits back on automatically. Like Jenn, we use Start Date as the original hire date and Adjusted Start Date as the most recent hire date. I have my benefits set to look at Adjusted Start Date but I can't find a way to tell the system, if Adjusted Start Date - Termination Date <= 90 reinstate benefits.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do that?

Have you considered using the Benefit Dates - HR11 tab "Ben Dates"? You can set the entry rules for the plans to look at these dates instead so you can manipulate them specifically for benefits.

Does that turn benefits back on once they're rehired?

It would turn on eligibility and would enroll for defaulting plans, using BN100 - employee groups - add rules. So an employee would fall out of the eligibility group upon term and then be added back in when they are rehired. Are you looking to automatically re-enroll them (or remove the stop date) on a benefit they had to elect? In that case, I think you would have to look to IPA.
