Can we delete duplicate pay types in the common pay type section of the employees payroll set up? We manually created the same one twice.

I created an additional pay type of 'admin cell phone' and a co-worker accidentally created it again.  Now all our employees have that option twice and I'd like to only have it there once so that it's uniform and the same one is always chosen.

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, tradikopf.

 

You're unable to delete pay types that you've used previously, however, there's a couple ways you can hide or remove them when they're not in use.

 

Here's how to hide pay types from your Run payroll page:
 

  1. From the Run payroll screen, click Customize table.
  2. Select which pay types you don't use.

 

Here's how to remove pay types from your Employee profile pages:
 

  1. From the Payroll screen, go to Employees.
  2. Find an employee and click their display name.
  3. From their Pay types section, hit Start or Edit.
  4. Uncheck pay types you'd like to remove.
  5. Select Save.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about managing pay types which may come in handy moving forward: Add or change pay types

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!
