LovesDubs: The Society has the congregation Secretary compile the publisher's service time each month. If a person misses reporting time for a month, they are not counted in the total active number of publishers for that month. But they are still counted in the congregation's total publishers.

This information is sent in each month to the Society. The Circuit Overseer pays close attention to the number of inactive publishers, and irregualr publishers as a ratio to the total number of publishers. He looks closely at this as an indication of the congregation's 'health'.

When a publisher ceases reporting time for 6 months, they are no longer counted as a publisher anywhere, and are placed in an inactive file. The elders are supposed to include such individuals in shepherding calls when they miss the first moth or two, to try and prevent inactivity. They also try to reactivate those that have ceased reporting for 6 months or more.

If the person does not reactivate by the end of the year, then it will affect the total number of publishers counted each year in the January Watchtower magazine.

Of course, getting disfellowshipped or disassociated immediately removes a person from the total number of publishers in a congregation.

When a person has not published for 2 years, their inactive status no longer affects the report to the Society, and their Publisher Record Card is placed in an archive file. After 5 years old judicial records and old inactive Publisher Record Cards are to be destroyed.

I have been out of the organization for nearly 7 years, so the Society may have modified these time frames some. But it should still be helpful to you.
