    Hi PKDS, 

     

    Thanks for posting again. 


    If we already recorded timesheets in any of the pay categories, we are unable to untick them anymore. At this point, I would suggest changing the pay basis from hourly to salary, adding a new pay category for base salary, and filling out the annual salary amount. After that, we could go to the Standard Pay tab and edit the hours to zero for the base hourly. 

     

    Let us know if you require any other assistance. We're happy to help. 

     

    Cheers,

Thanks for replying Tracey. This is how I usually change the pay categories for an employee. But in this case it doesnt work. I get this msg while trying to deselect 'Hourly Basis' 

" one or more payrol categories can not be deselected as they have been used on recorded timesheets"

and Hourl basis goes back to selected

    Hi KrissyTaylor, 

     

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community Forum. 

     

    From my understanding, we are referring to changing an employee to hourly from base salary. Generally, all changes could be made inside the employee card of the file. We could go to Card File > Cards List > Employee tab > Open an employee > Payroll details > Wages > edit the pay Basis from Salary to Hourly.

        I have exactly same issue (changing employee from hourly to salary) and same error message "one or more payroll categories cannot be deselected as they have been used on recorded timesheets".  I have tried the Accepted Solution, but this does not resolve my issue or remove the error message.
