Make employee inactive

I have some employees that are here between two and three separate times per year and back home in Mexico in-between. Basically I need to terminate them every time they go and re-enter the whole employee and information each time they return?

Would be nice to have the option to make an employee ‘inactive’

    I have an employee off because of a car accident, as I process each pay run I click onto the employee and zero out all the DEFAULT: pay, taxable benefits, and non-taxable deductions.

    This saves all the payroll information.

    I agree with that. It would be helpful to have an 'inactive' option for employees who are not terminated but are temporarily on leave — for example, so the timesheet function can be paused during their inactive period.

    Yes same goes when the employee is on sick leave for a long period of time.
