ETP Pay Codes CAN NOT be deleted if they have related records or are used in other records. Deleting records is not recommended unless absolutely essential.
A Pay Code can only be edited if it has not already been referenced within Pay Transactions, Interpretation Rules or Payee Allowance records. A new Pay Code will need to be created if updates are required after this point.
  1. To modify an existing ETP Pay Code record, open the required record and select the Edit button available on the top right side of the page. You can also double click within fields that need editing or just click on the pencil icon that appears within fields when hovering with your cursor.
  2. When complete, click on the Save button.
