ERROR: 'This employee is not an irregular contract worker and therefore cannot be made eligible for this type of policy'

Resolve the eligibility error in Sage HR when updating time off policies.

Written by Oliver Cook

You see the following error when you change who is eligible for an irregular hours or part-year policy.

This employee is not an irregular contract worker and therefore cannot be made eligible for this type of policy.

This happens when you've selected one or more employees who you haven't marked as irregular workers in their profiles.

To fix the error, use one of the following options.


Update policy selection

Remove employees who are no longer irregular or part-year workers from the eligibility list.


Update employee profiles

  1. Open the employee profile.

  2. Go to the Employee tab.

  3. Select This employee is an irregular hour or part-year worker.

  4. Save your changes.

Repeat this for all affected employees, then update the policy again.
