Purging historical position and job information

Purge an employee's position and job history records. Employee Pos, Job History Purge (PA313) only purges employee position information viewed on Employee Pos, Job History (PA13.2). The program does not delete employees records or personnel action history. Limit the purge to a specific employee group, up to four employees, or to specific position levels.

Caution:

Purging records permanently removes them from the database. You cannot retrieve purged information. We recommend that you back up data, following your organization's MIS procedures, before running any purge programs.
