Intro
When an employee is rehired within a month following his or her separation, most of the existing data displayed on the screens in the bundle is generally current and may not need to be updated. However, all existing data must be reviewed and updated as necessary and appropriate based on the new employment conditions.
If an employee separated over a year prior to the rehire date, the employee will need to be processed with a New Hire bundle. Reemployment of an employee into a career position requires the completion of the recruitment process outlined in the Manager’s and Supervisor’s Toolkit on the Human Resources website. If the rehire is a recall from layoff or preferential rehire from layoff refer to the Layoff guidelines in the Toolkit.
All fields that should be considered for data entry are listed. Many fields were fully defined in the New Hire bundle. Comments pertaining specifically to rehire are included below.
