When you terminate an employee in Sage HR, the system keeps their record. Sage HR saves their details exactly as they were on the termination date.
An admin user can still view a leaver’s profile and update their leaving details, such as the termination date or reason.

On the main menu, select Reports.
Select Employee data.
Select Terminated employees.
Sage HR shows terminated employees by termination date.
📌TIP: Select Export to download the list.
