When an employee leaves your organization, you may want to remove them from your account. Removing an employee removes their ability to clock in and out. You will still be able to access the deactivated employee’s time cards. You can also restore an employee profile if you need to.

On a Browser
Step 1: Log in and navigate to “Employees.”
Step 2: On your employee list, locate the employee you wish to deactivate.
Step 3: Click the red X next to the employee’s name.

On Mobile
Step 1: Open your app and tap on your initials in the top corner of the screen.
Step 2: Select “Settings.”
Step 3: Select “Employees.”
Step 4: Locate the employee you’d wish to deactivate and tap on their name.
Step 5: Scroll to the bottom of their employee profile and select “Deactivate.”

The easiest way to do this is to change the deactivated employee’s number to one you’re certain you won’t use (e.g. if the current number is 4, change it to 1004). If needed, you can restore your deactivated employee in order to make changes to their profile.
