The Pontotel platform has a specific tool to reverse an employee's termination. This function, called "Readmitir" (Re- only be used in cases where the termination was registered in error and needs to be undone.

Which process should I use?

• Use "Readmit" (this article): Only if the employee was marked as "terminated" on the platform by mistake and you need to reactivate their registration immediately.
• Use "Create new employee": If the employee was properly terminated, served their notice period, and is returning to the company months later (rehiring). In these cases, you should create a new employee record to preserve the history of the previous contract.
