Archiving a team member removes their settings and prevents them from being able to sign in and use QuickBooks Time. Their data and timesheets remain viewable in reports but can’t be edited.

In QuickBooks Online, archiving removes them from the time-tracking list only. They stay in your employee or contractor list. If you have QuickBooks Online Payroll, you have to manage the employee through Payroll. 

As an admin or manager, you can still view their timesheets and reports, but you can't edit them after archiving. To remove access for that team member, you can do so using the Access toggle in My Team.
