Is there a way to rehire an employee who has been on parental leave?

Hi I have spent a long time on the phone with an assistant and the conclusion was unsatisfactory. There was no good solution to an employee taking parental leave, issuing an ROE so they could claim EI, then they came back in the same year. I was told to reactivate the employee with the new start date - this meant the beginning of the year would not be on his T4. then i was told to create him as a new employee - QBO would not accept him as his SIN# is already in use. Then i was told to reactivate him without changing the start date - this works until i have to issue another ROE, when i will have to manually enter it and remember to change the start date

Hi there Mo-D,

 

Thanks for reaching out about your employee. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool able to assist you in paying your employees for the hours they've worked. I can provide some information about making this employee active once more.

 

Indeed, there isn't the option to have two employees with the same SIN, so the employee would need to be reactivated. What you could do would be to make the employee active once more using the same start date, so that all information will be seen on the T4. Then, if you need to terminate them, you can change their start date to the return date so you can generate the ROE form with the correct dates. Then you can reactivate them once more, change the Start date back to the original one, and mark them as terminated again for all pay to be included on the T4.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
