WHEN A STAFF MEMBER LEAVES THE PROGRAM, DO I REPLACE THE STAFF RECORD WITH THE REPLACEMENTS NAME?

No. Instead, locate the resigning staff member’s or volunteer’s record in the Administration >Staff section of the database and enter a termination date. When adding a new staff member, always click the Add button and start from a blank screen. If you replace the name of the resigning staff member with a new person’s name, you will remove any reference to the resigning staff member for the data already entered under that name. When someone leaves your program, enter a termination date. If that person returns to the program, remove the termination date. The staff member will be added to the drop-down menus again.
