Make Employees Inactive

This guide explains how to mark an employee as inactive in the Counta system and reverse the change if needed.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Note: Before making an employee inactive, ensure that all of the employee’s Expense Claims have been handled appropriately, either by submitting or deleting them. Once the employee is inactive, you may no longer be able to access their existing Expense Claims or the Supplier Invoices created from those claims.

1. Navigate to Master Files > Employees

4. To reactivate an inactive employee, simply delete the 'End Date' and click 'Save'.

After clearing the 'End Date' field and saving, the employee is now active once again.

Audit Trail:  You can discover the specific date an employee record was made inactive in the system (or view timestamps of every addition, change or deletion of employees) via the 'Audit Trail' from the EMPLOYEES page.

Note: If the pop-up below appears, the employee being deactivated is associated with one or more clients. Use the magnifying glass to select a new Client Manager for those clients, then enter the employee’s end date again to continue.
