We will respond to your request within 5 business days to acknowledge receipt and advise of any verification steps required.
Business Account Deletion
If you are the business owner and wish to delete your entire business account, please be aware that this will also delete all associated employee records, attendance logs, rosters, and reports. This action is irreversible. We recommend exporting any data you need to retain before submitting your request.
Employee accounts linked to your business will also be deactivated. If employees have their own login access, they will lose access to the platform upon business account deletion.
