Why This Error Occurs

This error appears because there is no open pay period for the employee’s payroll in Access PayWise+. Without an active pay period, Access PayWise+ can't process transactions or display relevant data for that employee.


How to Resolve

You’ll need to create a new pay period for the payroll. To do this:

  1. Log into Access PayWise+ Admin.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Finance > Payroll > Runs.

  3. Select the payroll that requires a new pay period.

  4. Add a new pay period, ensuring the following details are correct:

    • Start Date

    • End Date

    • Cut-Off Date (must be before the end date)

    • Pay Day
