Hello,
I am trying to change an employee from an hourly pay basis to a salary basis. When I deselect the hourly pay categories I get the following error message "one or more payroll categories can not be deselected as they have been used on recorded timesheets". How can I successfully change the employee to a salary basis?
Thankyou!
Hi
I keep salaried staff on a 'base hourly' rate rather than changing to 'salary'. This makes more sense for me, as it will then calculate entitlements etc. on the base hours, whereas for salary it'll have to be entered as a fixed amount per pay period. This means that if there are changes, such as an employee taking unpaid leave (while being salaried), the base hours will reduce accordingly and the entitlements will calculate correctly.
Unfortunately you're not able to deselect payroll categories that have been used in a timesheet, but you can rename them (such as adding -z, zzz, or zDNU to the front of the payroll category name) so that they'll at least be more unlikely to be picked :)
Hope that helps.
Thanks
