**Instructors** are the coaches or trainers at your academy. REMMU tracks their assignments and compensation separately from student payments.

## ✏️ Adding an Instructor

Go to **Instructors → Add Instructor** and enter:

- Full name
- **Display name** (optional) — a public-facing name shown to members (e.g. "Coach Mike" instead of "Michael Anderson"). Falls back to full name if left blank.
- Contact details
- Classes they teach

### Full Name vs Display Name

| Field            | Where it shows                                                                                                   |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Full name**    | Always used on invoices, receipts, payslips, and other legal/financial documents                                 |
| **Display name** | Used on class pages, public landing pages, attendance rosters, the mobile instructor directory, and admin tables |

This lets you keep formal records under the instructor's legal name while showing a friendlier or branded name to members.

## 🏷️ Instructor Billing

Instructors can have their own billing records to track compensation — either a fixed monthly rate or per-session payment. This is separate from what students pay.

Instructor payment records are visible under the instructor's profile and in the **Instructor Billing** report.

→ See [Instructor Billing](docId\:y4TaN0CBO5sMKQz9xBusq) for full details.

### Payments tab (instructor profile)

If [instructor invoicing](docId\:y4TaN0CBO5sMKQz9xBusq) is enabled, the instructor's profile page shows a **Payments** tab (admin, or team with payment-management permission) with:

- Stat cards: **To Pay**, **Paid**, **Overdue**
- A compact list of that instructor's invoices — the same actions available on the main Instructor Billing page, scoped to just this instructor

## 📅 Assigning Instructors to Classes

When creating or editing a class, you can assign an instructor. This links their compensation to that class's schedule.

## 🗂️ Archiving & Deleting Instructors

When an instructor leaves, you can **archive** their profile instead of losing their history. All past payment, attendance, and assignment records are preserved.

### To archive an instructor

1. Go to **Instructors**
2. Click the **⋯** menu on the instructor's row
3. Select **Archive** — the instructor is hidden from the default list and can no longer be assigned to new classes

### Viewing archived instructors

Change the status filter to **Archived** to see hidden instructors. Archived entries show a grey dot on their avatar.

### Restoring an archived instructor

From the Archived view, open the ⋯ menu and click **Restore** — the instructor returns to Active status and can be assigned to classes again.

### Permanently deleting an instructor

Permanent deletion is only available on **archived** instructors. Open the ⋯ menu → **Delete Permanently**.

:::hint{type="danger"}
**Permanent deletion cannot be undone.** The instructor profile is removed, though historical records (payments, attendance, class assignments) remain as unattributed history. Archive first; only delete if certain.
