 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<p class="no-margin">You may need to remove an employee from Payhawk before the next Merge sync with your HR system. In such cases, a Payhawk administrator can manually remove the employee from Payhawk and deactivate them in your HR system. This will stop any future syncing of the employee between the two systems.</p>
