As a practitioner, you can delete labor charge field values that are not being used. Deleting a value removes it completely from your Time & Attendance module database.

Note: You can only delete labor charge field values that are not being used and are not associated with employee records. If you want to prevent a labor charge value from being used in the future but you cannot delete it, or if you only want to make a value unavailable for a period of time, you can change the status of the value to inactive or change the start and end date for the value. See Editing Labor Charge Values for instructions.

You cannot delete a Department labor charge because the Time & Attendance module is not the System of Record for departments. Any additions, updates, or deletions to department codes must be done in the System of Record.

To completely remove an unused labor charge value from your database:

1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Setup.

   Note: If the Setup option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

2. Under the Labor Charge Fields heading, click the labor charge field (for example, Wage Rate Programs) for which you want to delete unused labor charge values.
   
   A Labor Charge Values page (where Labor Charge is the name of the labor charge field you selected) opens and displays the labor charge field values that have been defined for the labor charge field you selected. For example, if you selected Wage Rate Programs, a Wage Rate Programs page opens and displays the specific wage rate programs that have been created.

3. On the Labor Charge Values page, click the check box to the left of the ID for each value you want to delete.

   Tips:
   You can use the Search Options tools at the top of the page to search for a particular value by ID or Description.
   
   To select all of the listed values for deletion, click the check box in the header row.

4. Click the Delete button.

5. In the confirmation dialog box, click the OK button.
