Delete a single record from Entity Framework?

It’s not necessary to query the object first, you can attach it to the context by its id.
Like this:

var employer = new Employ { Id = 1 };
ctx.Employ.Attach(employer);
ctx.Employ.Remove(employer);
ctx.SaveChanges();

Alternatively, you can set the attached entry’s state to deleted :

var employer = new Employ { Id = 1 };
ctx.Entry(employer).State = EntityState.Deleted;
ctx.SaveChanges();
