Employers can track employees through different employment life-cycle phases using employee statuses. SnowHR comes with seven Employee Statuses. Since each of these statuses falls under a category, specific functionality can be associated with each status.
You cannot create a new employee status. Changing the name of the predefined employee statuses to match your organization's terminology is possible.
Employee statuses can only be set for employees when their user type is set to Employee, Temporary, Intern, or Contractor. You can not set employee status for employees whose User type is External User or Others or if the status is not set for the employee.
The 7 Employee Statuses are
- Onboarding
- In Probation
- Working
- On Leave
- Working out of the office
- Offboarding
- Terminated
By default, Employee statuses are disabled in the system. You can enable it by going to 
>> HR >> HRIS data to be tracked and ticking the Employee Status check box.
Managing Employee Statuses
Navigate to >> HR >> HRIS Master Data setup and go to the employee Related tab.
Scroll down to the Employee Statuses section to view the statutes, change the names, and deactivate the ones your organization does not need.
A system-defined category is assigned to each status.
Despite being deactivated, employee statuses are still associated with those who had those statuses. When creating or editing a user, you cannot select an Employee Status with inactive status.
