Deleting Terminated Employees

Question

Is version 20 handling the deletion of terminated employees differently? It won't let me delete any employees who are associated with job costs or purchase orders, etc. in the current company year - even if the employee hasn't actually worked during the current year. 
 
 It seems like previous versions would let me delete these employees. 
 
 So, if I have a project that goes on for 2 or 3 years, but employees worked on that project and quit over a year ago - I can't remove that employee record from my current company year?

Yes you can access the info from the archive but the current data job cost reports can't look there to retrieve the employees name. If the name is deleted from your current data then the job cost reports would be missing the name. 
 
Then I guess it has nothing to do with the new law and probably more about not losing the employees names associated with job cost reports.

That may be due to the new cal sick pay law but I'm not positive. Law states you must keep records for three years so I wouldn't delete them until they've been gone for three years because if they cone back within I've year you are supposed to reinstate their unused sick time. It makes sense that sage would not allow you to delete employees that are attached to jobs for job cost reporting purposes.
