# Handle Employee Exits

If an employee exits from your organisation, whether it is due to termination by the employer, resignation, death, or due to some disabilities, you’ll have to **Initiate Exit Process** for that employee in Zoho Payroll.

To initiate exit process:

*   Go to **Employees** from the left sidebar and select the employee for whom you want to initiate the exit process.
*   Click **More** icon and select **Initiate Exit Process**.

![The Basics](/payroll/help/ae/employees/click-initiate-exit-process.png)

*   In the Employee **Exit Details** page, you’ll have to enter details regarding the exit.

![The Basics](/payroll/help/ae/employees/employee-exit-details.png)

**Field**

**Description**

Last Working Day

Enter the last working day of the employee.

Reason for Exit

Reason the employee is leaving the organisation.

Personal Email Address

The employee’s personal email address in which you’ll be sending the full and final settlement payslip.

Notes

Internal comment for initiating the exit process.

*   Click **Proceed** after entering all the details in the respective fields.

## Process Final Settlement Payroll

Once you’ve entered the Exit details of the employee, you’ll be redirected to the **Final Settlement Payroll** page, where you can:

*   Enter the **Organisation’s Payable Days** and **Employee’s Payable Days** for that particular month.
*   Enter the **LOP** (Loss Of Pay) days, if any.
*   Enter **Additional Earnings** for the employee if any. Additional earning is an earning other than the employee’s regular salary.

**Pro Tip:** For employees who are working at the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) work location, you have the option to include the gratuity amount and view how it is calculated. Once you have processed the full and final settlement for employees, you can access the gratuity-related data for these employees through the Gratuity Reports, specifically the DIFC-DEWS Summary and Gratuity Liability reports.

*   If any amount has to be deducted from the employee’s salary, you can enter it under **Deductions** by clicking **Add Deduction**.
*   You can enable notice pay by checking the option under **Notice Pay** for the employees who are in their notice period.
*   If the organisation owes the employee, select **Payable** and if the employee owes the organisation, you can select **Receivable**.
*   Enter the amount in the **Payable Amount** or **Receivable Amount** field.

*   If you want to enter any note in the final settlement slip, you can add them under **Notes**.
*   Click **Save and Continue** to proceed.
*   In the following page, click **Submit** to proceed with the exit. If you’re a user who has approve access then click the **Submit and Approve** button.

After getting the pay run approved, you’ll have to record payment in the **Pay Runs** page. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Pay Runs** and click **View Details & Pay**.
*   Click **Record Payment** on the top right corner of the page.
*   Select the payment date and check the **Send payslip notification to exited employee** option, if you want to send payslip notification to the employee.
*   Click **Confirm** to record the payment.

## Process Final Settlement For Multiple Employees At Once

If you’re looking to terminate multiple employees simultaneously, you have two methods to achieve this: importing data or manually adding employees to the final settlement payroll.

**Method 1: Importing Data for Bulk Termination**

**Note:** You can process bulk termination of employees by importing data in the correct format.

*   Go to **Employees**.
*   Click the **More** icon on the top right corner and select **Import Data**.

![Bulk Settlement](/payroll/help/ae/employees/import-exit.png)

*   Choose **Employee Exit Details** as the type of import.

![Bulk Settlement](/payroll/help/ae/employees/import-exit-details.png)

**Pro Tip:** Download a sample .csv or .xls file to understand the correct format.

*   Ensure your bulk termination file aligns with the correct format.
*   Click **Next**.
*   Ensure that Zoho Payroll Fields are correctly mapped with Import File Fields.
*   Click **Import**.

After importing the file, review the details in the bulk and final settlement payroll and proceed with processing it.

**Method 2: Manually Adding Employees to Bulk Final Settlement Payroll**

*   Go to **Employees** in the left sidebar.
*   Select the employee you wish to terminate.
*   Click the **More** icon and select **Initiate Exit process**.

![Click Initiate Exit Process for Employees](/payroll/help/ae/employees/click-initiate-exit-process.png)

*   Enter the exit details and select **pay as per pay schedule** as the option for when you want to settle the final pay.

![Bulk Settlement](/payroll/help/ae/employees/bulk-exit-details.png)

*   A final settlement payroll will be created.

**Note:** Do not process the final settlement payroll until you’ve added all other employees to it for bulk termination.

To add other employees to the final settlement payroll:

*   Initiate the exit process for each additional employee.
*   Select **pay as per pay schedule** as the option.

Once done, these employees will be included in the final settlement payroll, which now becomes a bulk final settlement payroll.

With these steps, you can efficiently handle bulk termination and streamline the final payroll process for multiple employees.

### Filter Exited Employees

You can filter exited employees using the **Exited Employees** filter in the **Employees** page. To do that:

*   Go to **Employees** and click the filter dropdown on the top-left corner.

![The Basics](/payroll/help/ae/employees/employee-exit-filter.png)

*   Select **Exited Employees** from the dropdown and you’ll be able to view all the employees who exited from your organisation.

You can also filter employees based on their reason for exit. Here’s how:

*   Click the **Reason for Exit** dropdown on the top left corner.
*   Select the exit type.

## Revert Exit Process

There might be cases where you might rehire an employee. In such cases, you can revert the exit process. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Employees** and select the **Exited Employees** filter.
*   Select the employee for whom you want to revert the exit process.
*   In the **Overview** page, click the **More** icon and select **Revert Exit Process**.
*   In the following popup, enter the reason for reverting the exit process and click **Proceed**.
*   After clicking **Proceed**, you’ll be redirected to the **Employee’s Profile**. You’ll have to enter the salary details of the employee again in the **Salary Details** page.

Other information of the employee will be populated automatically as per the information entered earlier. You can edit those details if needed.
