How do I delete an employee?

[Paul Mayer]

Click on Payroll and then Employee and locate the employee in the list that you want to delete. Click on the employee to select the record. Then click on the minus button [-] in the button bar to delete the employee. This will open the record grayed out for verification. Click the Save and Close button. This will temporarily mark the employee as Unemployed. This is so you can print the W2 forms and payroll reports where they were paid.

At the end of year when you run the End of Year tool under the Tools menu, all employees marked as Unemployed will be deleted as well as ALL payroll transactions in the database and ALL vacation and sick pay accruals for the employee too.

Make certain that you've made a backup of your database for archival purposes and printed all W2 forms and end of year reports before running the end of year tool.
