I can walk you through making an employee inactive, ridolfi01.

 

There are a few steps to get this done. Here's how:

  1. Select the Employees tab from the left menu.
  2. Click the name of the employee you'd like to make inactive.
  3. Go to the Employment section, then click the pencil icon.
  4. Change the Status of the employee using the drop-down arrow.
  5. Click Done.

You can check this article for additional details: Add, edit, or inactivate an employee.

Hi there.

 

In the Employee section under the Employee that I need to make inactive, there is no Pencil Icon. All I can do is click on the Employee and not sure where to make them Inactive from there.

Hi there, @MillCity Hardscape.

 

I'll help you make your employee inactive. You can see the Pencil icon when you click the employee name. However, I can show you another way on how to make your employee inactive.

Here's how:

  1. In your QuickBooks, go to the Payroll menu at the left navigation pane.
  2. Choose the Employees tab.
  3. From there, find the employee you want to inactive, then at Action column, choose the Edit drop-down.
  4. Select Make Inactive.
  5. A pop-up notification will appear, just click Yes.

You'll want to enter additional information in your employees, feel free to check out this article: Add and use notes.
