How do I delete a pay schedule? (2024.11)

Payroll cannot delete a pay schedule when related transaction exist, such as

  • payroll checks

  • benefits

  • withholding

  • deductions

 

If the pay schedule has related transactions, instead of deleting the pay schedule you can:

  • set up a new pay schedule and transfer the employees to the new pay schedule, and then

  • change the pay schedule status to inactive. Connect will keep the pay schedule in the application, but it will not be linked to any employee positions or positions.
