Employee Status and Access Status
- Employee Status — where they are in their employment lifecycle: Draft, Active, Terminated, or Archived.
- Access Status — whether they can log in to the portal and see their Readiness.

Employee actions
All actions are in the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right of the employee’s row.Employee availability
Every employee has an availability measured in FTE (Full-Time Equivalent): 1.0 for full-time, 0.5 for part-time. Availability determines which positions they can be assigned to. To change it, click the availability icon next to the employee’s name. You can change availability any time the employee is in Draft or Active status, as long as they’re not currently allocated to a Primary Position. If they are, relieve them from that position first.Common questions
What's the difference between Employee Status and Access Status?
What's the difference between Employee Status and Access Status?
Employee Status is about the employee’s place in the organization: whether they can hold a position and receive responsibilities. Access Status is about their login: whether they can use the portal. You can have an Active employee with no portal access, or a Draft employee with an invitation already sent. Each is managed independently so you can set things up at your own pace.
Can I delete an employee I've already activated?
Can I delete an employee I've already activated?
No. Once an employee is activated, deletion isn’t available. Use Terminate instead, which preserves all their history. If you made a mistake and genuinely need to remove them, contact your Account Owner.
Why can't I change the employee's availability right now?
Why can't I change the employee's availability right now?
If the employee is currently allocated to a Primary Position, relieve them from that assignment first. Their availability has to match what the position requires, and changing it while they’re allocated could break the assignment.
What happens to an employee's responsibilities when I terminate them?
What happens to an employee's responsibilities when I terminate them?
They lose all their responsibilities immediately, because responsibilities flow through Position → Role → Responsibility and terminating removes them from their positions. Their badge history and Readiness records are fully preserved.
The blue invitation dot has been showing for a week. What should I do?
The blue invitation dot has been showing for a week. What should I do?
Follow up with the employee directly. The invitation may have landed in spam, or the email address may have a typo. Use Resend Invite on the Account Users page (Settings → Users) to send a fresh one. If the address is wrong, use Change Email on the same page to correct it.
