Import conflict	Work Types	Work type does not exist in KeyPay

Explanation

This error occurs if the work type does not exist within your KeyPay platform, because of this, Employment hero automatically disables the work type, causing this issue.

Important

Employment Hero does not allow you to delete the work type while there is an employee timesheet linked to this data source.

Solution

Adding the work type into your KeyPay platform and then re-syncing the two platforms will resolve this issue.

Resolving this error

Log in to your KeyPay platform.
Click the Business Settings menu.
Click the Payroll Settings submenu.
Click the Work Types button.
Click the Add button.
Complete the following fields:
- Name.

Helpful Hint

The Work Types page will now show a grey Updated button. This means Employment Hero has successfully imported your work types from your KeyPay platform.
