You may have set up an employee in error, or have an old record of an employee that you no longer need. You can use the 'Delete employee' option to remove these records from Sage 50 Payroll.

NOTE: You can only delete an employee who hasn't been processed in the current tax year.

1. Take a backup of your data.
   Deleting an employee isn't reversible so we recommend you do this.
2. On the Employee List, select the required employee.
3. Right-click then click Delete Employee(s).
   
   
   
   

The employee is deleted from Sage 50 Payroll. If the following message appears it's because the employee has been processed in the current tax year and can't be deleted.

'The selected employee has been processed. The employee record cannot be deleted until after the year end procedure is completed.'
