    Hi met 

     

    Thanks for your post. As mentioned previously when a payroll category has been used on a pay it won't be possible to delete this as this would corrupt previous records where this category has been used. If the wage category is no longer in use, you could rename it and add zzz to the front of the wage category name. This would put it at the bottom of the similar typed wage categories, which would help make it more obvious that the wage category wasn’t being used. That being said I have passed your additional feedback to the team.

We have the same problem. A staffer used to be Hrly paid but now on salary, both categories come up when we are processing his pay which can lead to double payment.

Surely there is a way to disable that category from appearing on the current pays?
