If you want to start over and establish a new set of compensation bands, you can retire all your compensation bands so that they are no longer in effect. 

To retire your compensation bands:

1. From the left sidebar, select **Data Model**
2. From the sub-menu, select Job Architecture > **Compensation Bands**.
3. Select **Edit**.
4. In the **Settings** tab, navigate to the **Retire** section.
5. Select **Retire compensation bands**.
6. Select an effective date on which all compensation bands are retired.
   - All compensation bands on or before the date you select will be retired.
7. Enter **RETIRE** to confirm.
8. Select **Retire**.
   - All compensation bands, tiers, job levels, and multipliers are retired and no longer in effect. You can use the date slider in ChartHop to view retired compensation bands.
   - Any jobs previously mapped to the compensation band will no longer show the compensation band.

:::hint{type="warning"}
Overlapping the effective dates of multiple compensation bands may lead to errors.



ChartHop recommends retiring compensation bands on a date that does not overlap with the effective dates of any new compensation bands. For example, suppose you are retiring a set of compensation bands today. When uploading a new set of compensation bands, define the effective date for tomorrow or another date in the future, so there is no overlap.
