Delete or offboard an employee
Deleting an employee removes everything your company keeps about them, for good: it doesn't go to the Trash. When someone leaves, choose Offboard instead to keep their history.

When someone leaves: offboard them
Click the actions button (⋮) at the end of the employee’s line and choose Offboard. This starts their departure, and their page and history are kept. You find them in the list by setting Employment status to Offboarded.
Delete an employee
Delete an employee only when you should not keep anything about them, for example someone added by mistake.
- Open Employees in the menu.
- Click the actions button (⋮) at the end of the employee’s line and choose Delete.
- Click Yes, delete it!
You can also delete an employee from the actions button of their page or of their edit page.
To delete several employees, tick their lines, then click Delete in the bar that appears above the list.
Deleted employees don’t go to the Trash. They can’t be restored.
What is deleted
Everything your company keeps about the employee as an employee:
- their contracts and their history,
- their teams, skills, emergency contacts and key dates,
- the ratings, comments and private notes about them.
What stays
- The person’s Skileo account. They may use it in other companies, so it is never deleted.
- Their time off, their timesheets, and the tasks and documents given to them. These stay in their own lists.
