Activate or Inactivate (Disable or Remove) a Time Off Type

You can control whether a time off type is available to employees by using the Active toggle in PurelyHR. Many users search for removing a time off type, but in PurelyHR this action is done by inactivating or disabling it. Historical data is always kept.

How to Inactivate (Disable or Remove) a Time Off Type

  1. Go to Time Off > Settings > Time Off Types.
  2. Click the pencil icon beside the time off type you want to change.
  3. Turn the Active toggle off.
  4. Select Save.

This hides the time off type from employees and prevents new requests.


How to Activate a Time Off Type

  1. Go to Time Off > Settings > Time Off Types.
  2. Click the pencil icon beside the inactive type.
  3. Turn the Active toggle on.
  4. Select Save.

This will make the time off type available to employees again.


How to View Inactive or Disabled Time Off Types

At the top right of the Time Off Types page, use the Active toggle to turn it on or off to switch between:

  • Showing only active time off types
  • Showing inactive or disabled time off types

This allows you to find time off types you previously disabled.

Good to Know

  • Inactivating does not delete past records.

  • You can switch a time off type on or off anytime.

  • Balances tied to disabled types stay until manually adjusted.
