The ATO ruling is that if someone returns to work after more than 3 months they're deemed to be a new employee. If this is your situation, it's best to create a new employee card for them and enter their payroll information. You also might want to update the name on the employee's original card to differentiate it from the new card, e.g. add "old" to the name on their original card.

If the employee is being reinstated within 3 months of leaving, you can reuse their original employee card. All you need to do is remove the Termination Date from their card and ensure their payroll details are up to date.

To reinstate an employee using their original card

Go to the Card File command centre and click Cards List.
Click the Employee tab.
Click the zoom arrow to open the employee's card.
On the Profile tab, ensure the employee's details are current and the Inactive Card option is deselected.
Click the Payroll Details tab.
Click the dropdown arrow next to the Termination Date (to display the calendar) then click Clear. Alternatively, you can highlight the date and press Delete on your keyboard.
Change the Start Date to the date the employee is being reinstated.
Click through each of the tabs in the employee's card and ensure their details are up to date (Wages, Entitlements, Deductions, etc.). For more details see Enter employee payroll information.
