Hi, There have been a number of posts about this but they have all closed so I am creating a new one. I have run into this issue on a number of occations and was wondering if MYOB has come up...

Hi jhp

Thanks for your post. Due to the way AccountRight operates in the background, if a wage category has been used on a timesheet for an employee that particular wage category would not be able to be deselected from them. I’m not currently aware of any plans to change how that works, however, I have passed on your feedback.

Please let me know if you need further help.

Thank you Tracey,

It would be wonderful if there was a solution for this down the track. Even if there was a way of 'hiding' pay categories within an employee card file. So they are still there but hidden so they don't show up when entering timesheets ?

Spell/grammar check would also be a great function on MYOB Community... lol

  Hi jhp
  
  At this stage you can only make categories inactive, however, that would apply to all employees so wouldn't solve your problem. We do appreciate your feedback and I have passed it on.
  
  The Community forum does have spell check:

    Can someone please advise how to make a payroll category INACTIVE that has been used in TIMESHEETS, as we are no longer using the timesheet function, and have so many categories showing on staff payslips, i would like to reduce that for the new financial year, as they look so untidy. Thanking you in advance.

Hi! I just wanted to add that this is an issue we are having as well with employees once they get promoted and have new payroll categories. It would be good if in the future there would be a way to hide categories from an employee's card as needed so there's no risk of accidentally selecting an old category when entering a timesheet.
