Understanding the Termination Fields {audience: admin} #

Termination Date #

• This is the last day the employee or contractor is considered active.
• It represents the last day worked.
• Friday uses this date to calculate:

– Final wages
– Hours included in payroll
– Whether the person appears in future pay runs

• Any payroll after this date will exclude the terminated worker.

✅ Important: Make sure the termination date aligns with the employee’s actual last day of work to avoid over- or under-payment.

Reason for Termination #

• This field is for internal recordkeeping only.
• It does not affect payroll calculations.
• You can use it to note:

– Voluntary resignation
– Termination
– End of contract
– Layoff

• Admins can always come back later to see why the employee or contractor was terminated.

What Happens After Termination {audience: admin} #

• The employee or contractor:

– Will not appear in future payrolls after the termination date
– Will no longer accrue hours

• Payroll calculations automatically adjust based on the termination date.
• Historical payroll data remains available for reporting and compliance.
