How to Archive (Deactivate or Terminate) Employees

Archive allows you to deactivate or terminate employees, who will then be Inactive or Terminated and removed from the active Employee List.

  • Inactive mainly applies to seasonal employees or contractors who may be hired again. You may also select this status if you immediately want to make a person inactive. You will be able to change this status to terminated later.
  • Terminated applies to individuals whose employment with the company ceased by the employee's choice (resignation) or the employer's decision (termination).
