Managing your employees

Your employees will be in one of three statuses:

  • Active - Active and in use.

  • Inactive - Inactive, so the employee has no access to their account. However, this still count towards your Active total.

  • Archived - Archived, so the employee has no access to their account, but you keep all the historical data within on your platform. This also frees up a license space to add a new employee in their place.

Let's look at how you can change an employee's status.

Making an employee Inactive or Archived

If you no longer require an employee to access their Team Xpress account, you can make them Inactive or Archived. Here are the differences between the two:

  • Inactive - Inactive is used to temporarily block an employee's access to their Team Xpress account and to stop the account from being scheduled. Inactive still counts towards the Active total, so this option is likely to be used if you expect the employee will return to work soon.

  • Archived - You will Archive an employee if you no longer need them to be scheduled or have access to their Team Xpress account. This is used when an employee leaves your company, however, Archiving them allows you to store all the historical data. And you can make the account Active again if the employee ever returns to work for you.

To make an account Inactive, you must visit the employee profile and change their Status to Inactive. Press Save to complete.

To make an account Archived, you must visit the employee profile and change their Status to Archived. Press Save to complete.
