Reinstating employee - Entitlements incorrect - need help ASAP please

Unfortunately MYOB doesn't automatically clear the existing entitlements when you terminate and then re-employ someone.

In my experience there are three options:

1. Create a brand new employee card for this employee. This is sometimes easier and more transparent than editing a current card, depending on circumstances. You can then rename the old card something like Z-Smith, John, so that it's at the bottom of the employee card list but still searchable.

2. Go into the employees entitlements' tab and put in negative amounts in the 'Balance Adjustment' fields so that the total equals 0 (or whatever the correct current pre-payroll entitlement is). It's useful to create a matching Contact Log entry for this so that you have a note of this transaction for future reference. 

3. Run a separate payroll for this employee. When starting the payroll, choose 'Process all employees paid: Bonus/Commission" - as this will clear out any standard pay element and provide a 'blank' payslip. Then you can put in a negative amount under Annual Leave Accrual that will clear the entitlement balance to 0 (or whatever the current payroll entitlement should be). I would personally choose 'Pay Slip Delivery Status: Already Printed or Sent' so that the employee doesn't get a $0 payslip which may be confusing.

Hope this helps and/or makes sense :)

Thanks
