Hey projects-command,

 

Thanks for turning to the QuickBooks Community for support. It's important that you have only the active Employees showing in QuickBooks Online. I can provide some information about removing Employees from QuickBooks.

 

The only way you would be able to delete an employee is if you have not run payroll for that specific employee. If you have not run payroll for the employee you wish to delete, navigate to the Payroll tab, select Employee. Find the employee you would like to delete, at the top of the page beside their name, click on Edit. At the bottom of the page where there is a black line across the page you will see Delete employee. If you have already ran payroll for this employee you can make them Inactive. To do this, head to the Payroll tab, select Employees. Find and click on the employee you would like to make inactive. You will see 3 lists, Pay, Profile and Employment. Beside Employment click on the Pencil icon. You will be brought to a page where it will ask you for a status, chose the status and reason that best fits the employees reason for leaving. Next you will need to enter the termination date.  Once you have entered the necessary information, go ahead and click on Done. This employee will no longer show in your active employees list.
