A pay type has a name that does not follow the naming guidelines.

When naming pay types, the given name must follow the guidelines listed in the error message: must start with a letter, be at least two characters long, and cannot contain spaces or special characters. The Pay Type name field also cannot be blank.

Note: An underscore ( _ ) can be used in the name of a pay type. Pay type names are limited to 15 characters.

1. Click OK on the message; the Pay Type name that needs to be changed will be highlighted
   
   Note: The pay type just added may not be the field that is causing the error
2. Change the indicated name field to follow the naming guidelines: If the field is not going to be used, re-enter the placeholder name (Rate for Hourly pay types and Salary for Salary pay types) and make sure the GL Account Number field is empty
3. Click Next
4. If the error recurs, it is because there is another pay type that does not meet the naming guidelines. You will need to fix that indicated field too.
5. Repeat Steps 4-5 until the Payroll Settings window moves to the next screen without error
6. Click Finish
