How to terminate an employee

An employee's termination must be correctly recorded in the system to ensure that their timesheet does not show absences on inappropriate days and that all legal and administrative information is organized.

This process can be done directly on the Pontotel Gestão website, within the employee's registration.

Step-by-step guide to terminating an employee.

1. Access the employee screen.

In the top menu of the Gestão website, click on "registrations" . Then click on "employee" .

2. Go to the corresponding menu.

In the list of active employees, select the employee you wish to terminate. In the menu that opens, click the "terminate employee" button.

3. Fill in the fields:

• Work schedule on termination day : If checked, the system will normally consider the expected work schedule on the termination day. If not checked, the employee will not have an expected work schedule on that day.
• Schedule shutdown for a future date : Allows you to schedule the shutdown for a date that has not yet occurred. Useful when there is already an official date set, but you want to register it in the system in advance.
• **Cancel actual points after termination:** If checked, points earned by the employee after the termination date will be disregarded.
• Reason for cancellation : This text field is required when the above option is selected, to justify the cancellation of these points.
• Termination date : Main field where the effective date on which the employee left the company should be entered.
• Reason for termination : Drop-down list where you can select the reason (termination, death, requested termination, or other). These reasons help with administrative control. By selecting the "other" option, you can add a custom reason.

4. Complete the shutdown.

Finally, click the "sign off" button. The request will be registered and, starting from the date entered, the hours worked during the termination will be automatically displayed on the employee's timesheet.

Recording the termination in the system ensures greater control and avoids inconsistencies in timesheets. Always confirm the entered date before saving.
