Rehired Employees using Employee Central
The Employee Central password reset currently does not work on employees that were previously using the Employee Central app, and was later terminated and then rehired.
In this situation, your team will want to contact us with the rehire's full name, location, and restaurant concept and we will get the account reset.
You will want to share this information with your GMs and Administrative team.
After we reset the employee's account, they will then be able to use the password reset feature on the app and a message will be sent.
You may want to confirm that current phone and email information is entered into the Employee Roster.
You may also want to see if your employee is set up to use the Text option or the email option (you can find this in the Employee Roster).
