Purging employee information

Purge employees with termination dates in Employee (HR11.1) from the Personnel Administration, Payroll, Benefits Administration, and Training Administration applications.

Note: You can delete pay history and employee history. For more information, see the Infor Human Resources User Guide.

The Employee Purge (PA115) program purges all information for all employees specified in the parameters. You cannot purge employees who have year-to-date wages for the current year, pending actions, benefits in the Benefits Administration application, or time records.

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.
