Purging employee records

This procedure covers how to delete both pay history and employee history. To purge employee records you must purge all

  • employee pay history

  • encumbrance data

  • Benefits enrollment history

  • Personnel Administration history and data

  • Time Accrual history

  • open manual payments

  • adjustments

  • one-time deductions

  • log history

Then you must enter a termination date on the employee record of each employee to be purged.

Caution: 
Purging employee records permanently removes the employee from the system. If you mistakenly purge an employee, you can re-enter the employee, but you CANNOT retrieve history on the employee.
