Archive an Employee ID
These steps explain how to archive an employee ID for employees that quit or are terminated.
-
AuditLink recommends locking an employee ID for a minimum of 12-18 months before archiving.
-
Archiving an ID allows the ID to be reused by another employee and replaces the name on screens and reports to the new employee’s name. If an ID is archived too soon, it will cause issues with auditing.
