Error adding base pay into Employee Job Salary

I am receiving an error stating that a base pay already exists for this job.

• Payroll
• Employee Job/Salary

Employee was already assigned to a base pay code under the job class the user was attempting to add.

If the employee requires a new base pay code for a new job:

1. Access Job Class Master: Payroll > Payroll Setup  Job Class Master
2. Search on the existing Job Class
3. Click Copy in the ribbon and enter a new Job Class code
4. Return to Employee Job/Salary: Payroll > Employee Maintenance > Employee Job/Salary
5. Click Add enter the Employee, the new Job Class and the pay

The pay code can also be updated to a non base pay code category:

1. Access Pay Master: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Pay Master
2. Search on the pay code
3. Click Update
4. Select a new Category Code from the drop-down that is a non-base pay, typically a category 6 - Miscellaneous/Other
5. Click Accept
6. Add the pay code in Employee Job/Salary under the same Job Class

Munis will only allow one base pay record per Job Class in Employee Job/Salary.
