error: one or more payroll categories cannot be deselected as they have been used on recorded timesheets

Hi vidario1 

I take it you don't use timesheets - this is what causes the issue for FarmNess  - who does use timesheets.

Hi FarmNess 

Don't expect a solution from MYOB any time soon. This is just one of a number of 'annoyances' that MYOB have been aware of for a very long time.

There is a MYOB specialist who can remove payroll categories in bulk, even if they have been used in timesheets. While I understand this is not what you need (the payroll categories are still in use), they might know a way to get around your issue for a specific employee for specific payroll categories. Email me if you want contact details.

Gavin
