Can't change status of employee when terminated. direction to edit status does not appear?

Hi bonnie.hollywood,

It's vital you're able to mark your employee inactive and I'd be glad to show you how. QuickBooks makes it simple to bring your financials into perspective. With the powerful features offered in the program, you're able to streamline your work while you save time for the things you love. 

Here's how to manage the employee status in QuickBooks:

1. Click on the Payroll menu, then Employees.
2. Choose the employee's name.
3. Select Edit ✎ on the section you'd like to update.
4. Edit their info and select Done.

I encourage you to try this out and if you have questions, feel free to reach back to me, I've got your back. Otherwise, have a great rest of the day.
