    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,

    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.

      Hi Jus9, 


      Thank you for your post and welcome to our Community Forum. I apologize for the delayed response.

       

      I understand your intention to remove the categories previously used before transitioning an employee from Hourly to Salary or vice versa. Unfortunately, this is not feasible. Any categories previously associated with an employee or used in timesheets cannot be deselected, as this is designed to ensure all employee-related activities can be accounted for. However, these linked categories will not impact future pay runs if there is no amount or number of hours entered in those payroll categories when processing pay.

       

      I suggest adhering to the previous instructions in this thread and reaching out if you need further assistance.

       

      Thanks,
      Genreve
