## Difference between disabling and deleting

**Disable** immediately removes the employee's access to Zoyya while keeping their active employee profile, schedule, services, and calendar display. Use it when access must be removed temporarily or permanently but the location still needs the employee record.

**Delete** removes the employee from the active list, future selection, and active calendar display. Deletion does not cancel or move existing appointments.

## Disable an employee

1. Open **Settings > Employees and resources > Employees**.
2. Select the employee who has access to Zoyya.
3. Click **Disable** and confirm.

## Delete an employee

1. Open the employee as described above.
2. Click **Delete**.
3. If Zoyya displays a warning about future appointments, review them before confirming.
4. Confirm deletion.

|| Important: Past and future appointments remain saved and are not cancelled, deleted, or assigned to another employee automatically. Before deleting the employee, open future appointments in the calendar and reassign them if needed.

|| Important: A deleted employee can no longer sign in to Zoyya or be selected for a new appointment. Historical appointments and business records remain in the system.
