When you delete an active employee or a leaver, you eliminate the whole employee record from the system and the record is unretrievable.
Because of this, when you attempt to delete an employee, the following warning appears:
If the employee is leaving the company and you need to keep their information, you can process the employee as a leaver instead.
For auditing purposes, admins can build queries on deleted employee information within the query builder. However, because you deleted their record, the query only shows their name, who deleted the employee and when.
