### **3. How to Disable ESS Access for Employees?**

When an employee leaves the company, disable their ESS access through the separation process. **Resetting the ESS password does not remove the employee's ESS access.**

### **A. Disable ESS Access for a Separated Employee**

**Step 1:** Separate the employee so that the employee status is marked as **‘Separated’**. To know the separation process, refer to the link below:

<https://docs.pockethrms.com/faqs/cloud-portal/exit#id-1.-how-to-separate-employees-from-the-system-or-make-an-employee-inactive-how-to-left-employee>

**Step 2:** Disable the **‘ESS Login’** option for the employee. To know the steps, refer to the link below:

<https://docs.pockethrms.com/faqs/cloud-portal/payroll/transactions#id-7.-how-to-disable-ess-log-in-for-employees-leaving-the-company>

Disabling the **‘ESS Login’** option is the step that **removes the employee's ESS access**.

**Note:** For Active Employees, ESS cannot be disabled.

### **B. If the Employee Is Still Logged In**

If the employee was already logged in to ESS when the **‘ESS Login’** option was disabled, that **session may stay active**.

In this case:

* Ask the employee to **log out** of ESS.
* If the employee cannot be asked to log out, contact <support@pockethrms.com> to request a **force logout**.

### **C. Reset ESS Password (Not an Access Removal Step)**

Resetting the ESS password only changes the employee's password. It **does not disable** the employee's ESS access and **does not end a session** that is already active.

Use this only when you need to change an employee's ESS password.

**To reset the ESS password**, refer to the link below:
