# Archiving an Employee in MakeShift - Beta

## To archive an employee in MakeShift, follow these steps:

**An employee can be archived in MakeShift by a Company Admin at any time**. If you are a Location or Department Admin, you can archive an employee only if this employee does not work in any other locations or departments that you do not have Admin access to.

When an employee is archived, all data and information associated with them is removed from MakeShift. You can restore an employee if they return to work at your organization or if you would like to view their past data and schedules. To restore an archived employee, please read our article on how to [**Restore Archived Employees**](https://support.makeshift.ca/hc/en-us/articles/204380888?hsLang=en)**.**

 

Select the **People** tab on the top navigation bar.
