Delete employees
Deleting an employee in Zoho Shifts means permanently removing their profile from your organization. When you delete an employee, their profile and associated data, such as shifts, time off, and time entries, are permanently deleted from your organization and cannot be restored.
If you want to retain an employee’s historical data for reporting or compliance purposes, you can deactivate the employee rather than delete them.
Before you start
To delete an employee, you’ll need the Administrator access level or the Add, edit employees permission enabled. You can delete employees only for the schedule you are assigned to.
To delete an employee
- Navigate to the Employees tab.
- Click More actions (•••) of the employee’s name and select Delete.
- Review the data loss and click Yes, delete to confirm.
Once deleted, the employee will be permanently removed from your organization.
