  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the employee subgroup settings in the SAP system, such as incorrect end dates or missing entries.
  Data Entry Errors: The employee's data may have been entered incorrectly, leading to a mismatch between the employee subgroup and the expected validity.

  Consult with HR/Payroll Team: If you are unsure about the validity of the subgroup or how to proceed, consult with your HR or payroll team. They may have insights into the specific configurations and policies in place.
