Hello. I am using QuickBooks Online and we have re-hired an employee. 

we wanted to change his hire date to re-hire date however, can we keep the original hire date? how can our records show he's a re-hire?

Hello there, Ray. It's great to have you here in the Community.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), when you rehire an employee and update their hire date, the system automatically records the new date, as it is not possible to keep both the original and the rehire date on file. This ensures the accuracy of the employee's record.

As an alternative, you can create two employee profiles for the same individual, then add a number 2 to the other profile name. This method allows you to differentiate between the two profiles and maintain accurate data for the employee.
 

Moreover, these materials provide valuable resources and instructions for updating employee information and status if you need help supervising your workers' profiles:

• Edit or change employee info in payroll
• Terminate or change your employee's status on payroll
   

Additionally, you can generate reports that provide a snapshot of the financial performance of your business. You can utilize these articles for the step-by-step guidelines for doing so:

• Run payroll reports
• Create a payroll summary report in QuickBooks
