I'd like to provide a suggestion/feedback to Sage. I believe it's crucial to have an “inactive” function for employees who are on temporary leave but not terminated. Currently, it’s inconvenient to view historical timesheet data for these employees unless I re-select them and pay a monthly subscription fee for that particular employee. On the payroll side, there is also no option to remove or inactivate these employees, which means they continue to appear in each pay run — even when there are no payments to be made. Additionally, Sage automatically calculates tax amounts (e.g. $20) even when no hours are entered, requiring me to manually adjust the tax amount to $0. This process is unnecessarily time-consuming for administrators.
It would be great to have a feature that allows employees on temporary leave to be marked as inactive, with similar functionality to terminated employees. This way, administrators could still access and easily view the history of any transactions without needing to rehire the employee or pay an additional subscription fee. Ideally, there should be a simple option to enter the inactive start date and the return (reactivation) date, so the employee can automatically be reactivated when they return.
Also, managers who do not use the timesheet themselves but only review employee timesheets should not be counted toward the paid subscription.
