Problem

An error sometimes occurs saying that the "date cannot be in the future" when entering a date into PAYE-Master. Eg, when entering a join date or leave date within the Employee record screen.

Resolution

This can occur because of two reasons.

You have not set the Pay Calendar within the program.

To do this click “Utilities” > “Pay Calendar Wizard“. Work through the wizard configure pay dates for each pay frequency you are going to use. Once complete, try to enter the date again.
