One or more payroll categories cannot be deselected as they have been used on recorded timesheets

I am trying to deselect a payroll category (tool allowance) for an employee.  I keep getting the above error message.  I don't use the timesheet function. How can I fix this?

    HI Denise102,

     

    What you can do in this case, head to the employee's card file > click into Payroll details > Standard Pay > zero out any amount that is against this category and press OK to save. This will stop you from having to manually override the fixed amount when processing your payroll. Example below:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi Sam_R

There are no unprocessed timesheets and the use timesheets for... is unticked.

Does this mean that every pay I process for this employee I will have to over ride the amount that is allocated to tool allowance to 0 (there is a monetary value in there as other employees use the tool allowance)?
