There are some rules around disabling a pay schedule, you are unable to disable a pay schedule if you have any in progress or locked pay runs in the 'incomplete' area of the payroll screen and if your employees haven't been moved from that pay schedule. Before you proceed with disabling a pay schedule, please ensure all employees have been removed from this schedule. The pay schedule in our system looks for pay dates, if you no longer require this pay run you can simply re-set the pay run and this will delete any payslips and disappear from the incomplete pay run area.  You can disable any pay schedules that are no longer required for your organisation by following the instructions below: Navigate to the Organisation Screen \> Pay Schedule Module \> Un-tick the ‘enable’ button \> Press ‘Save’.  1. Navigate to the organisation screen  ![](https://support.ocerli.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-19-2026-01-39-22-2261-PM.png?width=234&height=40&name=image-png-Aug-19-2026-01-39-22-2261-PM.png)  2.
