Overview: You can deactivate a user from within their profile. If you deactivate an employee, you'll retain their time card information. However, they'll no longer be able to log in or punch time. They will also no longer count towards your allotted user count.

Important: Our system does not automatically deactivate an employee if they're no longer tracking time. Administrators will need to manually deactivate a user and adjust their plan if needed.
