Permanently Deleting Employees
Overview
Permanently deleting an employee will delete all stored information about the employee inside of OnTheClock. Performing a permanent delete means you can no longer retrieve records or data from the system. OnTheClock or administrators cannot undo the permanent deletion.
The action of permanently deleting an employee should only be completed when you have done the following:

You may also use this when a past employee requests their information be deleted from the system to comply with CCPA laws.
