Ability to Remove Previous Wage Categories from Timesheets

Hi, is there anyway to remove wage catergories from timesheets that are no longer used by that employee? Some of our employees have numersous catergories which makes processing timesheets manually very difficult. Or is there a way to make a wage catergory default for an employee?

    Hi MPNH,

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    Wage categories that were used in recorded timesheets won't be able to be removed from their card file. When you try to remove it, you may receive a warning message.

     

     

    What I can recommend is that you rename the wage categories that are no longer in use for this employee. This way, you can avoid confusion about the wage categories that you will not use.

     

    Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

      Hi Doreen,

       

      Thank you for your reply. If I change the name of a wage category it will affect other employes who use that category won't it? As employees progress they change levels, as a result there is a number of employees on the same category at different times.

       

      Thanks.

        Hi MPNH,

        Thanks for your post. Yes, changing the name of a wage category will also impact other employees using that category. Another workaround for this is to rename the wage categories, or you can create new wage categories for employees who are using those wages. 

        Feel free to post again, we're happy to help!
