Error

Type.	Feature.	Error Name.
Employee file.	Pay details.	A validation exception occurred, Invalid Payroll Calendar ID.

Explanation

This error occurs when an employee's pay schedule in Employment Hero does not match any current pay calendars on your Xero platform. When the Employment Hero platform encounters this issue, it will not synchronise the employee's file over to your Xero platform.

Solution

You will need to add the pay schedule to your Xero platform and then re-sync Employment Hero with your Xero platform to resolve this issue.

Resolve this error

Log in to your Xero platform.
Click the Organisation Name button.
Click the Settings button.
Click the Payroll Settings button.
Click the Calendars tab.
Click the Add button.
Complete the following fields:
- Pay period.
- Name.
- Start date.
- First payment date.
- Make this my default pay calendar for new employees.
Click the Add button.
Log into your Employment Hero platform.
Click the Payroll Settings menu.
Click the Pay Schedules submenu.
Click the Update From Payroll button.

Helpful Hint

The Pay Schedules page will now show a greyed out Updated button. This means Employment Hero has successfully imported your pay schedules from your Xero platform.
