Delete Pre-Hires

Delete Pre-Hires

Security:
Manage Pre-Hire Data: Mark Pre-Hires for Deletion
 and
Manage Pre-Hire Data: Delete Pre-Hires
 domains in the Pre-Hire Process functional area.
Deleting a pre-hire is irreversible and involves 2 separate tasks. You can filter the list of pre-hires by location, pre-hire pools, the positions for which they're being considered, statuses, and dates.
If you search for pre-hires by country or country region, Workday determines their location based on either the:
  • Country of their home address.
  • Primary location of the supervisory organization that contains the position for which they're being considered.
The location search results don't display pre-hires that:
  • Aren't linked to positions.
  • Have no home address listed.
After a worker is hired, you can't delete that worker's pre-hire record.
Deleting pre-hires doesn't remove all of their information from Workday. To remove their personally identifiable information from Workday completely, you must use the
Purge Privacy Data
 task to purge the terminated worker associated with the pre-hire record. You can't purge active workers.
  1. Access the
    Mark Pre-Hires for Deletion
     task.
    Find the pre-hires you want to delete and select the
    Mark for Deletion
     check box. The task doesn't display pre-hire records if:
    • The worker was hired or contracted.
    • The worker was terminated or their contract ended.
    • The
      Hire
       or
      Contract
       event is in progress.
    • The pre-hire records were merged.
  2. Access the
    Delete Pre-Hires
     task.
    Select the
    Delete
     check box for the pre-hires you want to delete.
