# Terminating an Employee

**How to Terminate an Employee:**

**Terminated employee:**

You now have the option to view terminated employees on your schedule in order to reschedule any future appointments they may have. To do this:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Choose the employee to terminate

When an employee has been let go, navigate to **Manage** > **Basic Settings** > **Employees** and choose the employee you will be terminating.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Enter the termination date

Under settings, enter the date of termination.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Hide the schedule column immediately

If you would like to immediately hide the terminated employee's schedule column, check the "**Hide on Schedule**" box that appears under the Termination Date.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Keep the schedule column visible

If you would like to wait until all appointments have been moved from the terminated employee's column, make sure the "**Hide on Schedule**" box is NOT checked under the Termination Date.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Once an employee is terminated, their column will turn gray if it is not hidden, and their name at the top of the column will have red lines through it. You will not be able to Schedule anything else within the column, but you can move/reschedule their appointments with another employee.
