Worker cannot be deleted while dependent Position worker assignments exist. Delete dependent Position worker assignments and try again.

Posted on by 205

Hi,

I get this error, I have removed the position assigned to the worker and I also try to remove the position and delete the worker but it still doesn't work. Anything I've missed? 

Thank you

    Hi Fuka1,

     

    Use employment history button on the employee record to end the old employment and create a new one.

    For your second question “have 1 manager on Legal Unit A, and 5 employees that reports to this but are on Legal Unit B”:

    Position records are shared across companies. You can assign the employees to corresponding positions and then it should meet your requirement.

     

    Regards,

    Hi,

    It was one old worker position assignment but has already end, and the workers that were reporting to that position was also ended. So now when i view the position in hierarchy it's on organization level, any way to delete this position and also the worker? The thing is that I would like to move the Worker/Employee to another legal Unit, that's why I want to delete the employee and create a new one. Is it a possibility to just move the employee to the different legal unit, I've tried but didn't found any solution yet how to move it. Because they should have the same position.

    Can it affect if I, for example, have 1 manager on Legal Unit A, and 5 employees that reports to this but are on Legal Unit B, shouldn't affect anything right?

    Thank you.

    Hi there,

    there are some older positions assigned to that employee - Go to the employee -Worker Tab ->Worker Positions Assignments. Choose "AS of Date" and select YES for Display all records. You should be able to see previous position assignments.

    let me know if this works.

    regards,
