Editing vs. Deleting Employment Periods

Employment history in 7shifts is designed to provide a clear and accurate history of an employee’s work timeline. These records play an important role in features like payroll processing and benefits eligibility. 

Can I Delete an Employment Period? 

No. It is not possible to delete an employment period. This prevents issues that could affect payroll and benefits, such as incorrect benefit plan enrollment or pay period calculations. Instead of deleting, you can edit existing employment periods if adjustments are needed.

What If a Termination Was Entered by Mistake?

If an employee was mistakenly marked as terminated and should still be active, here’s what to do:

1. Login to 7shifts on a web browser.
2. Navigate to Team > click on the employee profile to expand more details.
3. Navigate to the Employment tab.
4. Under the Employment History section > click + Add employment history:

• Do not try to delete the existing employment period.
• Create a new employment record with the correct rehire date.
  • You can backdate this hire date as needed to reflect their continued employment.
  • The original record will remain, but the system will only use the latest record for payroll and benefits purposes.
