A payroll calendar can be deleted from the Payroll Calendar page after all pay periods are fully processed. Calendars with payments that are scheduled, in progress, or incomplete cannot be deleted. Deletion permanently removes the calendar and associated data and cannot be undone.
Before Deleting
Complete these checks before deleting a payroll calendar:
Confirm that all pay periods in the calendar show a Completed status.
Verify that no payments are scheduled or in progress.
Review whether another active calendar exists or will be created after deletion.
Understand that deleting the current calendar also deletes any dependent or future calendars.
If a new calendar is needed, recreate it from the Create Payroll Calendar page.
Security
Users must have the following permission(s) to delete a Payroll Calendar:
Payroll → Workforce Payroll → Payroll Calendar → Edit Payroll Calendar
These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.
