Your explanation was easy, thank you.  The issue I have is coordinating with Guideline 401K.  It requires the hire date and in the employee information tab, it has a field for hire date and original hire date.  The hire date is grayed out so it can't be changed.  The fields should be the other way around or have the original hire date field be rehired date.  It is also helpful to have the original termination date as well.  

With your partnership with Guideline 401K, this information is critical to be compliant with the regulations and law.

Thank you.  It appears then that you will lose the date of the first termination.  Is that correct?

Hi there,

I'm here to share information about termination date in QuickBooks Desktop.

Yes, you're correct. The termination information will be lost once you've removed it. Don't worry, I'll guide you on how to note the first termination date in the employee's profile.

You can add a custom field for the first termination date from the Additional Info section and enter the date. Here's how:

1. Go to the employee's profile.
2. Select Additional Info.
3. In the Custom Fields section, click Define Fields.
4. Under the Label column, write "First Termination Date."
5. Put a checkmark under Empl. Then, select the date format under the What kind of data?.
6. Click OK.
