# Inactive Employee Records

To ensure that historical employee information is included in reporting, it is recommended to never delete employee records. To remove an employee from the schedule and remove their access to the R365 Mobile App, it is recommended to **make their employee record inactive**.

> When **Workforce Payroll** is enabled, employee records should **not** be made inactive. The employee should be [separated](/doc/docs/workforce-employee-separations) instead.

Employee records can be marked as inactive or active in bulk from the Employees page or individually on employee records.

Auto LogoutWhen a user's password is reset or the user is marked as inactive, they are immediately logged out of all active sessions.

## **Making an Employee Record Inactive**

When the 'Inactive' setting on an employee record is checked, that employee record is inactive.

Making an employee record inactive will:

- Prevent the employee from being assigned shifts on the schedule for any location.
- Unassign all of the employee's future or unpublished shifts at all locations.
- Automatically uncheck the [App Access setting](/doc/docs/employee-app-access) and suspend the employee's access to their own information on the R365 Mobile App.
- Mark the linked user record as inactive and prevent the user from logging into R365 via web or mobile.

## **Making an Employee Record Active**

When the 'Inactive' setting on an employee record is unchecked, that employee record is active.

Making an employee record active **will**:

- Allow the employee to be assigned shifts on the schedule for locations associated with their jobs.

Making an employee record active **will not**:

- Update the employee's App Access setting.
- Change the 'Inactive' setting on the linked user record.

After making an employee record active, employee app access can be manually granted. Granting app access will automatically change the status of the linked user record to active and allow the employee to log into R365 via web and mobile.
