How do I make an employee inactive for weeks when they do not work, I have helpers that are not employed by me doing hours to cover sickness and Holidays or big events?

Welcome to the Community, red.rose.ulverst.

Let me share some information about managing your employee's status in QuickBooks Online. We have three versions of payroll for QuickBooks Online. May I know what version of payroll you're using? That way, I can provide you the appropriate steps in making an employee inactive.

Here are some articles you can check on how to manage the different status of employees in QBO:

• Managing an employee status in PaySuite
• Managing an employee status in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll
• QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll Hub
• Add, edit, or inactivate an employee

Please let me know if you need more help with inactivating employees in QuickBooks. I'd be glad to help you out.
