Another way using CTE.

;WITH cte 
     AS (SELECT * 
         FROM   workrecord2 w 
         WHERE  EXISTS (SELECT 1 
                        FROM   employee e 
                        WHERE  employeerun = employeeno 
                               AND company = '1' 
                               AND date = '2013-05-06')) 
DELETE FROM cte 

Note : We cannot use JOIN inside CTE when you want to delete.
