This is to ensure you are choosing the correct option as it is often the case that you may wish to retain the employee's information in the case of a leaver. Follow this guide to see how to process an employee as a leaver - https://support.sense.hr/how-to-process-a-leaver

The only scenarios where delete would be recommended are;

- This is a dummy/test record with no real employee information and is no longer required.

- This was intended to be a new starter but they never successfully started onboarding and therefore will not be joining the business.

- This is a duplicate record that you wish to remove.

4. If any of the above scenarios apply, proceed with selecting 'Delete' just be aware that this employee's information will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable. You will then see this final screen to confirm this is now completed.
