⚠️Important: You cannot edit or delete a Pay Adjustment Type if it is assigned to any staff contract in any budget scenario, including working, published, and locked scenarios in the whole budget year.
Why You Cannot Edit or Delete a Pay Adjustment Type
A Pay Adjustment Type becomes locked from editing or deletion when it is in use.
This happens when:
The Pay Adjustment Type is assigned to at least one Staff Contract, and
that contract appears in any scenario:
Working scenarios.
Published scenarios.
Locked scenarios.
As long as a Pay Adjustment Type is linked to a Staff Contract, the system prevents changes to avoid breaking existing pay calculations.
Option 1 – Remove the Pay Adjustment Type from Staff Contracts
If you must edit or delete the Pay Adjustment Type, you first need to remove it from all Staff Contracts that use it.
Open each relevant scenario in the budget year.
Go to the Staffing section.
Open each Staff Contract that uses the Pay Adjustment Type.
Remove the Pay Adjustment Type from the contract’s pay adjustments.
Save the contract.
Repeat this process across:
All working scenarios.
All published scenarios.
All locked scenarios.
Once the Pay Adjustment Type is no longer used on any Staff Contract, you should then be able to edit or delete it.
Option 2 – Create a New Pay Adjustment Type Instead
If removing the existing Pay Adjustment Type from all contracts is not practical or would affect historic data, you can instead:
Create a new Pay Adjustment Type with the correct settings.
Apply the new Pay Adjustment Type to relevant Staff Contracts going forward.
This allows you to keep historic data intact while using a revised adjustment type for future calculations.
