| EFIN-84363 | Terminated Employees Sent from PowerSchool ERP to Employee Records | Employees terminated in PowerSchool ERP are updated in Employee Records through the Sync 9 payload with the deactivation flag sent as True. On the employee termination window in PowerSchool ERP, if the user enters both the last worked date and last date to pay for the employee, the termination payload would be triggered on the next day after the last worked day, deactivating the employee in Records. On the employee termination window in PowerSchool ERP, if the user enters only the last date to pay for the employee, the termination payload would be triggered on the next day after the last date to pay, deactivating the employee in Records. If an PowerSchool ERP user terminates an employee and reactivates the employee before the last worked date or last day to pay entered in PowerSchool ERP, no payload is triggered. There is no impact in Records. |
