Purging employee records

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

  • Employee pay history

  • Open manual payments

  • Adjustments

  • One-time deductions

  • Log history

After completing these steps, you must enter a termination date on the employee record of each employee you want to purge.

To purge an employee, you must purge all of the employee's data including:

  • Employee history

  • Payroll history

  • Benefit history

  • Tip pay records

  • Time and Attendance history

  • Absence Management

  • COBRA and retiree invoices

  • Employee and employee comments

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