Updating employee from Casual to Salary

[FGC_2023]

I have an employee that is moving from casual (timesheets) to a Full Time employee on salary. 

When I try to update her employee card, as soon as I change the Pay Basis to "Salary" the Wage pay Item of "Base Hourly" disappears and changes to "Base Salary".  The result is that I get the below message"

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

I understand that it cant be deselected or deleted but this is somethign that is happening automatically.  Please help

Hi @FGC_2023 

Thanks for your post. You'll need to re-select the Base hourly pay item after you change the Pay basis. To do this:

1. change the Pay basis to Salary
2. under Allocated wage pay items click on Add wage pay item and select Base hourly
3. click Save
4. click on Standard pay tab
5. delete hours prefilled against the Base hourly pay item
6. click Save

Please let me know if you need further help.
