Remove W2 employee from payroll

[ATS]

I have 1099 subcontractors and W2 employees that are paid thru square payroll.  Recently I have switched my W2 employees to "Paychex".  How do I deactivate W2 employees from square payroll but still keep them as a team member?

Hey @ATS, happy to provide help. You can deactivate your employee from Payroll but it will impact team settings. There isn't presently a way to deactivate someone from just payroll, but keep them active on the team. Their activity could cease on payroll, as they stop being paid through Square Payroll. If you do wish to move forward with deactivating the team member, you can do so through the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Staff & Payroll > Team > Team Members.
3. Select the team member you want to deactivate from payroll.
4. Tap the ellipsis in the upper right-hand corner of the team member blade
5. Select Deactivate

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our Payroll Support team. They are available at 1-855-700-6000 (M-F, 6 AM-6 PM PT). Let me know if you need anything else!

This recently changed because it was previously possible to remove someone as a W2 employee; but still maintain giving them access to the system. When will this functionality be returning? This is directly impacting our business and causing confusion with our employees.
