What Gets Deleted

When you delete bands:

• Compensation data is removed (min/mid/max values)
• Benchmark data is deleted
• The band is removed from its data rule
• Employees lose band assignments

What's NOT deleted:

• The job or grade itself (only the compensation bands for that job/grade)
• Employee records
• HRIS matchers

Deleting Jobs and Pay Zones

If you delete all bands for a job:

• System surfaces an option to delete the parent job
• Deleting the job also deletes relevant mappings
• Warning: "This action cannot be undone and relevant mappings will also be deleted. You will need to create the job again and re-map it if you change your mind."

If you delete all bands in a pay zone:

• System surfaces an option to delete the parent pay zone
• Deleting the pay zone also deletes relevant mappings
• Same warning applies

When you filter to a job or pay zone with no bands:

The system shows two options:

1. Delete the empty job/pay zone
2. Add bands - Launches the add bands flow scoped to that job/pay zone

Before confirming deletion, you'll see the warning about mappings being deleted.

Impacted Surfaces

Deleted bands, jobs, or pay zones are reflected across all surfaces:

• Band count
• Add jobs flow
• Mappings
• Data rules
• Unmatched employees
• And all other relevant views
