How Do I Delete An Employee?

This article explains how to delete an employee in Personio. 

There are three different ways that you can do this:

• Deleting an Employee via the Employee List
  Follow these steps if you want to permanently delete the employee. This action cannot be reversed, and their data cannot be restored.
• Deleting an Employee via the Employee Profile
  Follow these steps if you want to permanently delete the employee. This action cannot be reversed, and their data cannot be restored.
• Terminating the Employment 
  Follow these steps if you are unsure about permanently deleting the employee and all of their data.

Deleting an Employee via the Employee List

In the employee list, use the checkboxes to select one or more employees that you want to delete. Navigate to Actions and select Delete employee. To finish and to delete the employee(s) permanently, confirm the process by clicking Delete.

Note:
Only admins can see the Delete employee option that is located within the Actions button.

Deleting an Employee via the Employee Profile

Go to the profile of the employee you want to delete. Once in the employee profile, go to the Action button with the three dots at the top right and select Delete employee. To finish and delete the employee permanently, confirm the process by clicking Delete.

Note:
Only admins can see the Delete employee option that is located within the three dots icon.

Terminating the Employment 

If you are unsure, however, whether to irrevocably delete the employee with all of their data, you also have the option of terminating the employment and therefore changing their status to Inactive.

Inactive employees cannot access Personio and are not counted in your subscription plan. However, they can be included in historical analyses.

You can find further information on the article Manage Terminations of Employment.

Note:
To see the Terminate employment option, employees need to be granted editing rights for the section where the Status attribute was allocated (Personal data, HR information...) through Settings > People > Employee Roles > Access rights.
