How do we stop terminating employees who are already terminated?

Question

How do we stop terminating employees who are already terminated?  It seems to be a problem in our environment.

 

Answer

To ensure you don’t inadvertently terminate an employee who is already terminated, ensure you use feature MSN20 in table Personnel Action Types (T529A) in the field named ‘Check’ (NAMEN) for any termination actions.  This guarantees that when running a termination action, a check is made to ensure the employee has an employment status not equal to withdrawn (0).
