# Staff Removal
### Staff Offboarding
Who can use this feature:
* Admin Managers
* Payroll Managers
In Marco, **offboarding** updates the staff’s **employment status** but does **not** remove their access to their Marco account. Managers can still manage offboarded staff as needed.
📝 **Note:** **Expat staff** **cannot** be offboarded unless their **Expat status** has been terminated.
#### **To offboard a staff member:**
1. Go to **People**.
2. Select a **staff member** > Click **⋮ (three-dot icon)** > **Offboarding**.
3. A confirmation pop-up appears. Click **Yes** to proceed.
4. The **Offboarding** screen appears.
5. Select the **Last Working Day** and **Offboarding Reason**.
6. Click **Save Changes**.
✅ The staff will now be marked as **Offboarded**.
### **Deleting a Staff Member**
Who can use this feature:
Admin Managers
All staff members **can be deleted**, regardless of their employment status (**Inactive, Onboarding, Probation, Regular, or Offboarded**).
⚠️ **Important:**
* **This action is irreversible.**
* Once deleted, the staff member’s data **cannot** be viewed or modified.
* Deleted staff will appear in **Deleted Items**, but their records will no longer be accessible.
#### **To delete a staff member:**
1. Go to **People**.
2. Select a **staff member** > **System**.
3. Click **Delete Staff**.
4. A confirmation pop-up appears. Click **Yes** to proceed.
✅ The staff member has been deleted and can no longer be managed in Marco.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.marcopayroll.com/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/marco-platform-structure/customer-portal/manager-guide/people-management/employee-transition/staff-removal.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
