Deleting Employee Records

You can delete an employee record, but normally only in an unusual situation, such as creating the employee record in error. If an employee record has any transactions associated with it, it cannot be deleted.

If an employee is no longer actively working for your company, you should inactivate the employee record instead. For more information, see Inactivating Employee Records and Employee Termination.

To delete an employee record:

  1. Go to Lists > Employees > Employees.

  2. On the Employees list, click Edit next to the name of the employee record you want to delete.

  3. On the Actions menu, click Delete.

  4. When prompted to confirm, click OK.

  5. If the employee record has dependent records, the employee record cannot be deleted and a NetSuite notice page will appear. Here, you can either click Go Back or click the hyperlink to view the dependent records. To delete the employee record, each dependent record must be deleted first.
