Error: Pay code ##-## is set to do not calculate

Issue

The employee has a pay code that is set to do not calculate. 

 

Explanation

This error means the pay code is set to do not calculate and it should not be. When the "Do Not Calculate" ARP setting is used on a tax type pay code, it causes reporting errors because tax type pay codes need to calculate a tax. 

 

Solution

To fix this error, follow these troubleshooting steps.

  • First, check if the tax pay code in the employee pay codes is set to do not calculate. (Modify Existing Employees > Pay Codes tab) Next, do the same check on the employee pay codes that do not calculate. 

  • Second, rerun routines that calculated an amount using the pay code. The error report will list the employee number and the check type or amount that used the pay code to calculate. Use the information provided on the error report to track down the transactions that need to be recalculated.

  • Third, run Checkout again to verify the error is resolved. 

 

When the error is resolved, it will be excluded from the error report.
