The Employment Status picklist stores values you can assign to an employee, such as Active, Contractor, Future Leaver, Left. The assigned value can be used to control Team Member visibility and access to processes. Values can be translated into other languages. The Employment Status picklist is a field on the Team Member object.
With Administrator access you can edit the values in the picklist, changing names, adding or deleting values, changing the display order and setting a default value.
If you change the default values in the Employment Status picklist, ensure the value for employees who have left your organization does not include all or part of the value used for active employee status.
