- An employee is Active, On probation, Inactive or Terminated.
- Terminating records a reason and a last working day. The employee keeps working and signing in until the end of that day; then they are marked Terminated, their access ends and their team and open approvals are handed over.
- Reactivating a former employee, or one whose termination has not taken effect yet, restores things as they were. Hire date and leave balances are kept for HR to adjust.
