Hi,
I have an employee that has returned to work for us after leaving at the start of the year. He is still on the employee list. Can i reactivate him? when I go to his employee profile he shows as a leaver and under the actions tab I can see 'edit leaver status' however it is faded out and I am unable to click it. Do I have to add all his details again or is there a way to put him back on payroll
TIA

In this scenario - you would be better placed to recreate him. As he left you, he would have been provided with a P45 and marked as left the business with HMRC. If we were to re-activate it, it could cause concerns on HMRC's side. You want him to be a "new" employee, with a new employee ID and new profile altogether.
Depending on the payroll system you have, you may be able to export, and re-import the data and give him a new employee ID (Don't use "Old Employee ID" box) - but from a time perspective, it would take less time to recreate him than to export, format and re-import the data.
