Unneeded payroll categories

[RoxyAtButtery]

Hello. In the process of generating an entitlements summary report, are calculations made for each entitlement type, whether it has been allocated to an employee or not? Due to the way we needed to do a file migration in the past, we have ended up with about 30 leave types that haven't been used for about 4 years (but we can't archive or delete them). We are having trouble generating entitlement reports for our 100 current employees and I thought that might be contributing. Cheers, Roxy.

Hi Roxy

Thanks for your post. The Entitlement Balance reports display the hours and values of entitlements that have accrued through processed payruns. As such, only the entitlement categories that have been assigned to an employee will be listed in those reports.

Your issue with running that report may be that it is timing out due to the large amount of data that it needs to gather. Can you try running it for a smaller number of employees and see if that works. Can you also let me know what happens when you try to run the report, what error message you're getting?

Please let me know how you go with this.

Hi @Tracey_H ... so a bit of background ... I was just getting around to posting this query from our YE problems when we couldn't run the reports for year end reconciliations. It wasn't generating an error message at the time ... it just kinda gave up after a few minutes and pretended I hadn't run the report. If I run the report now for October for all staff it works. If I run the report for all staff for July to October it works. If I run the report for last FY for all staff it works. Something has changed but not from our end. Will keep an eye on it and comment again later if the problem arises again. Thanks!
