Configuring Employee Title Field Correctly For Payday Filing
Legacy KB ID: 5737
Question
In Reckon Accounts and Reckon Accounts Hosted, the employee title field is a free text field. However, the IRD only accepts certain entries for PayDay uploads. Therefore, if an Employee has an invalid title, the IRD will reject the upload.
For example, Mr is a valid title, but if the Employee has Mr. (with a fullstop) entered in the title field, the PayDay upload will fail (and detail which employees have invalid titles).
Answer
Go into each employee record and enter a valid title:
1. Go to the Employee Centre
2. Select the employee which has an invalid title
3. Double-click to edit
4. Enter the correct title
5. Repeat steps for other employees

Brigadier
