Once you save an employee in MYOB Essentials, you can't remove (delete) them. But if the employee is no longer needed in MYOB Essentials, for example you've processed their final pay, you can mark them as Inactive. This prevents the employee appearing in selection lists and excludes them from some reports. It also lets you reactivate their record if needed. | UI Text Box |
