# Rehire Employee

The terminated employees can be onboarded again some time after termination. In cases like this, the employee is not created again, but the terminated employee record can be activated, provided that the employee data wasn't [deleted](/v1/docs/delete-employee-data) or [anonymized](/v1/docs/anonymize-employee-data).

To rehire the terminated employees, follow these steps:

1. Use the employee search to find an employee to be rehired (**Core HR** > **Employees** > **Employees**, enter the keyword and select the **Include Terminated Employees** check box in the **Additional Filter**, click **View**).

2. Click the employee name to open the card.
3. Next, click **Change Job** to assign the employee to a job position and activate the employee record.

4. Provide the job position details, set **Status** to **Active**, provide the new **Full Time Equivalent**, specify the date from which the employee is assigned to the job.

5. In the **Change Reason** field, select **Rehire**.
6. The **Employment Date** is by default set to the original hire date. You can change it to the rehire date. Also, provide the **Service Date**, if relevant (the date from which an employee can be entitled to start accruing the absence allowance). For example, you can leave the initial employment date, but set the **Service Date** to the date of rehire.
7. Select the **Enable changing Salary Details** check box if you are to specify the employee's salary details.

8. Click **OK**.

If the **Assigned From** date is in the future, the **Future Assignment** record will be added to the employment history (click **Employment History** on the employee card ribbon) and the employee will be activated on the day of assignment start.

If the **Assigned From** date was set to today's date or date in the past, the employee record will be activated after clicking **OK** in the new assignment form.
