A Clearer, Easier Way to Handle Terminations
10 Jan 2026
Terminations aren’t something HR teams deal with every day. When they do happen, they tend to arrive with a mix of deadlines, emotions, and small but important details that are easy to miss. It’s one of the few moments in payroll where uncertainty can creep in - and where a forgotten step can cost the business real money.
With this update, openHR steps in as a quiet guide.
We’ve redesigned the termination popup to surface the most important information automatically, helping you move through the process with confidence and clarity.
What’s new
🔴 Automatic checks for items that must be recouped
openHR now highlights:
- Negative leave balances
- Outstanding advances and loans
- Unreturned assets assigned to the employee
These are the items employees rarely point out themselves, and they’re the ones that can quietly cost a business or HR manager the most. Now, they’re impossible to overlook.
🟢 A calmer, more complete termination flow
Instead of relying on memory, checklists, or past experience, the system now brings everything together in one place. You see what needs attention, what needs action, and what simply needs awareness - all before finalising the payslip. The goal isn’t to add complexity. It’s to remove uncertainty.
Why this matters
Terminations will never be anyone’s favourite task, but they don’t need to be stressful. By surfacing the right information at the right moment, openHR helps protect the business, support HR teams, and ensure a dignified, accurate final payslip. It’s one more way we’re building a payroll system that doesn’t just process data - it supports the people who rely on it.
