How do I activate an inactive employee?

Happy to have you here on the Community page, @steponfire.

Let me show you the steps on how to activate an inactive employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

1. Go to Workers at the left pane, then select Employees so you'll be routed to the Employees window.
2. Click on the drop-down under the Employee list, then select All employees.
3. You can check the status of your employees under the Status column.
4. Select the name of the inactive employee to see the employee's details.
5. Hit on the pencil icon beside the Employment column.
6. Change the status to Active under the Status section.
7. Tap on Done to save the changes.

I did all of the above but when i try to save "active" a red box pops up saying I already have an employee by that name. Of course I do, that's why I am trying to make her active again. So, what do I do now?
