You would change an employee from inactive to active when you want them to be able to log in and use the HR system again. When someone is marked inactive, their account is effectively disabled.
Reasons to change an employee status
Common situations include:
Reactivating a returning employee who previously left but is coming back.
Fixing an account that was accidentally deactivated.
Allowing access again if they need to log in for example to view payslips or other records.
When the status is switched back to active, the employee can log in normally again.
