Re-enrolling an employee

Reinstatement, or re-enrollment, generally happens when an employee has been terminated due to a reduction in hours, layoff, leave of absence or some similar reason. Most companies have standard rules for reinstating previously terminated employees. Reinstatement usually includes waiving standard waiting periods if the employee is rehired or comes back to work within six months.
