⚠️ Deactivate job asks you to confirm: "Are you sure you want to deactivate this job? Team members assigned to this job will be unassigned from it. Reassignment will happen from the Team member page." Team members without a job won't be able to get paid.

You can't deactivate a job while other active jobs report to it ("Remove direct reports to disable this job"). Reassign those jobs to another manager job first.

Activate job happens right away with no confirmation. It doesn't reassign team members who were previously assigned to the job.
