Dormant (Off-season) Workers
Pause seasonal workers between seasons without losing their record or face enrolment, and bring them back in one click when the season starts.
Overview
For seasonal peaks.
A dormant worker is on an off-season pause. They stay on your books and on payroll records, keep their face enrolment so they can clock in straight away next season, but are not offered shifts and cannot be booked.
Dormant or Leaver?
Pick the right one.
| Dormant (off-season) | Deactivate (leaver) | |
|---|---|---|
| Record | Kept, active | Kept, inactive; anonymised after the leaver period (24 months by default) |
| Face data | Kept | Deleted within 4 hours |
| Can be booked or offered shifts | No | No |
| Coming back | Instant, one click | Needs re-enrolment for face clock-in |
Making Workers Dormant
One at a time or in bulk.
Use Deactivate (leaver) only for people who have left. It removes their face data within 4 hours.
Bringing Them Back
Instant.
Click Wake on the worker's row (its tooltip reads "Bring back for the season"), or use the bulk action. They can be booked and clock in immediately. A returning worker who was imported again from a spreadsheet can be reactivated by ticking the reactivate option on the import.
Billing
Only people who work are charged.
The per-worker charge only counts workers who clock a shift on 2 or more days in a month, so dormant workers cost nothing while they are paused.
