Hi, Natasha. Yes, once the employee is marked as Terminated in their employee profile, their profile will be removed in the employee list and will no longer be in your employee lists. Ensure your employee status in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is terminated

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to All Apps and click Payroll.
  2. Select Employees.
  3. Choose the terminated employee.
  4. Scroll down to Employment details.
  5. In the Status dropdown, click on Terminated.
  6. Save it once it's done.

 

If it still appears in your employee list, ensure that you've archived  them in QuickBooks Time. 

 

I’ll keep an eye on this post if you have additional questions or concerns.
