entering a previous employee

You don't need to reenter a previous employee, snowhvac. You'll only have to change their employment status from Terminated to Active so you can get them back on payroll. I'll guide you on how to accomplish this.

Former employees will no longer be included in your current payroll list. Nevertheless, their profile and payment records will continue to be stored in your account and will still be visible on reports. Since a previous employee has returned to work for you, you can reactivate them to add them back to your payroll. Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select your employee. If they're not on the list, select All employees from the Active Employees dropdown.
3. In the Employment details section, select Edit.
4. From the Status dropdown, select Active.
5. Click Save. 

Additionally, do you want your employees to access their paystubs and W-2s online? Invite them to QuickBooks Workforce. For more details, check out this article: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs and W-2s.

I'm just a reply away if you need further assistance managing your employees. Wishing you and your business continued success.
