Can I delete a component from the Payroll Components screen?

This feature is available on all PaySpace editions.

A component can only be deleted if it has not been linked to any employees. If the component has been added to an employee's payslip, the component cannot be deleted and will need to be made inactive.

If the relevant component has never been linked to an employee's payslip, select the "Delete" link against the component name on the Payroll Components screen.

      Navigate > Configuration > Payroll > Payroll Config > Payroll Components


If the component has been linked to any employees the following error will be displayed and the component will have to be made as inactive.
