# Edit a person

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** A person to edit.

You'll change a person's name, phone numbers, address, locations, employment, work-rule override, or notes.

## Open the person

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. Go to **Company → People** in the header.
2. Click the row for the person.
:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Tap **More** in the bottom bar.
2. Tap **'Manager'**, then **'People'**.
3. Tap the person's row.
4. Tap **'Edit'** in the top bar.

::::

## Make your changes

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

1. Update any of the fields.
2. Click **'Save'**.
:::

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Update **'First name'**, **'Last name'**, the address fields (**'Street'**, **'ZIP'**, **'City'**), **'Work phone'**, **'Private phone'**, **'Group'**, **'Locations'** or **'Hourly rate'**.
2. Tap **'Save'** in the top bar.

The mobile form covers those fields only. Employment type, hire date, work-rule override, waived breaks, notes and skills stay on the web.
:::
::::

A person carries two phone numbers — **'Work phone'** and **'Private phone'** — so a manager reaching out about a shift doesn't have to use someone's personal number.

```{note}
The email address is read-only after the person is created. To change someone's email, ask them to update it in their own account settings.
```

## Record a termination date

There's no button called "Offboard" — you offboard someone by giving them a termination date on the person form. This is different from {doc}`deactivate-a-person`: deactivating just stops sign-in and scheduling, while a termination date settles what the company still owes them.

1. Go to **Company → People** in the header and click the person's row.
2. Set **'Termination date'** to their last working day.
3. Click **'Save'**.

Saving the date is what triggers the settlement, and it runs **once** — on the change from no termination date to having one. Two things happen together:

- **Leave accrual freezes.** The person stops earning new leave from that point.
- **Time-compensation credit is paid out.** If the company runs night-work time compensation and the person has a balance, it's settled as a termination payout. Nothing is written when the balance is zero or the feature isn't in use for their work rule.

Editing the date afterwards updates the record but does **not** re-run the settlement.

```{warning}
Correcting a wrong termination date changes the stored date but won't undo a payout that has already been written — check the leave ledger before you fix it up. See {doc}`/manage-leave/leave-transactions/index`.
```

The termination date is on the web person form only — the mobile app doesn't offer it.

## Verify it worked

A toast confirms the save and the row in the people list reflects your changes.
