New field for terminated employee
I have suggested previously that a separate field for "terminated" on an employee file would be much better than a "terminated" option on the employee status. There are many reasons we have to do historical reporting on employees, and once we've changed their status to Terminated "0" then we can no longer filter or report on if they were a casual, salaried, permanent etc. These things are not related - we should be able to mark the employment type of an employee completely separately form if they are terminated or not.
I know there's the terminated date field, but depending on what report you're running and what data table you're pulling it from, sometimes this isn't easy to report on.
I can't find my original correspondence (years ago), however I have an internal email suggesting Jobpac agreed this was a good idea, but it's never happened!

Any progress on this in the last 2.5 years?
No update on this one Alex but I will keep in mind absolutely.
thanks

Any updates on this?
Thanks Alex,
It is a good idea and I this suggestion will be reviewed for future roadmap inclusion.
From a coding perspective we need to be very careful as there is so much code already built around the status in this field. However we might be able to do something around holding a prior status or status history.
This could be useful also to hold information for employees who have changed from temp to permanent as an example as well as what status they were before terminated.
