Remove (terminate) an employee

When someone leaves your organization you can remove their employee record. This terminates and archives the employee rather than erasing their history, so past records stay intact.

What happens

• The employee’s status is set to Terminated and a termination date is recorded.
• The employee is archived (removed from the active directory).
• If they have a linked login account, that account is deactivated.

Steps

1. Open the employee you want to remove from the Employee Directory.
2. Choose the delete action for that employee.
3. Confirm. You will see a message that the employee has been terminated and archived.

Warning: You cannot remove an employee who manages other people. Reassign their direct reports to another manager first, then try again.
