In order for payslips to be uploaded to active employee records only, we have introduced a validation process when entering a user's national insurance number.
​
This error message means that the National insurance number is in use elsewhere.

To check where this national insurance is displayed you can run a query by following the below steps:

  1. Click Access Button image then click HR Admin.

  2. Go to Queires then click on Add a New Query [+].

  3. From the left-hand list, select:

    • Employee Details.

    • Leavers.

  4. From the right-hand list, select NIS/SSN.

    • Add the filter Equals: Add the NI number.

  5. Click Next then give the query a name.

  6. Then click Next.

You will need remove this from the existing account to upload to the new employee profile.

πŸ“ŒNote: You're able to add a regex code to validate NI/SSN.

When amending the NI number this states the error message this may need to be completely remove and added back in with the correct information.
