Can I delete a position that is assigned to employees?

Yes, you can delete a position at any time — including when employees are using it. Before you do, though, check how many employees the change affects, so you do not leave gaps in the schedules.

How to check how many employees hold the position

In the Positions and tags tab the positions table has a People column. The counter in that column shows how many employees currently hold a given position.

Before you delete a position, check its counter in the People column. That tells you straight away how many employees the deletion will affect.

How to delete a position

Go to the Positions and tags tab.
Find the position on the list (you can use the search box or the location filter).
In the position's row click the ⋮ icon and choose Delete.
Confirm the operation in the confirmation window.

Deleting a position will affect the employees and the schedules it was used in. If the People counter is greater than zero, make sure first that deleting it will not leave gaps in the planning.

The details of managing positions are covered in Positions and tags.
