Since employees have to be active to be included in a payroll cycle, we cannot change an employees status once we find out they have quit or have been terminated. Instead, we have to keep a physical list and go back through after the week's payroll cycle to change everyone's status to terminated or inactive. It would be EXTREMELY HELPFUL to have the system prompt "date effective" when changing an employee's status and then automatically terminate them when said date arrives.

Might I add that it would also be beneficial when payroll processes that last payroll for the employee the system can start an automated termination process (using a workflow in Spectrum) and have the people who are assigned to review the terminated employees, confirm any final details for that terminated employee. This way all personnel who are responsible for that termination are aware of the status of their task and less errors are avoided.

This is a serious, urgent issue for us. Spectrum, are you able to provide any updates or feedback on this?

Our current manual process for updating employee statuses post-termination which includes tracking on a spreadsheet is prone to errors and inefficiencies. With the proposed feature, Spectrums ability to prompt for a "date effective" status change and automatically terminate employees when the specified date arrives would mitigate these issues, ensuring accuracy and timely adjustments to our workforce records.

This is very time consuming for our HR Department as well. The suggestion of a pay through date would be wonderful!

Even better - a termination date and a "pay through" date.
