There will be a small pop up stating that this employee has been successfully enrolled on the bottom left hand side. These employees will now 'disappear' from your page because they will now fall under the active employees again.

### Step 2: Check clock template and re-assign the template if necessary

1. In the same employees page as per the previous step, click on the orange inactive button and select active again.
2. Click on the icon next to Export/Import ( it looks like a small spreadsheet and when hovering your mouse over it, it will say Set default view)
3. Select Time & Attendance
4. Now check the clock template column for that employee line:<br>

   1. Click on Clock Templates on the top of the page.
