How to delete a branch?
BEWARE: Please keep in mind that deleting a branch will delete the branch and will archive all of the data contained within it.

Can I recover the deleted branch?
No, you cannot recover the deleted branch.
Can I recover the worker records stored within the deleted branch?
Yes, the current records under the deleted branch can be accessed and transferred to another current branch. You can follow this article to search for the current records from the deleted branch: Where do I find terminated, transferred or other non-current employees?. You will need to transfer the worker records manually one at a time. Note: "Read Only" records cannot be transferred (such as converted, merged, transferred records).
For deleted branches with a large number of worker records, enableHR can assist in recovering these records and transferring them to another branch at an extra cost. The cost is determined by the amount of records and branches that need to be recovered. You will be provided with a quote and estimated time for completion for your approval prior to the commencement of the recovery process.
