1. To solve the problem on a case-by-case basis:
   
1. Go to the employee's file, then to Other employee settings,

📌 Case 4: It may be that your employee no longer has an assigned position by default

1. In your employee's file, click on Position,
   
2. Click on in front of the desired position,
   
3. Check the box next to "The employee's position is active" and "This position is the employee's default position."

In the future, to prevent this, you have to schedule your employees when they work on nights.

If after following these steps the payroll still does not go through, you can submit a ticket to us.

We will need the employee's last name, first name and personnel number, as well as the pay period you are trying to export.
