  The SAP error message HRPAYDEEH354 typically relates to issues in the payroll processing for employees who are on a part-time or semi-retired status. The message indicates that there is a problem with the employee's working hours and their classification in the system, particularly when it comes to the part-time threshold.
  Cause:
  
  Part-Time Threshold Violation: The error suggests that the employee's working hours (as defined in the relevant infotype) are below the expected threshold for part-time employees, which is typically set at 18 hours per week in many configurations.

  Review Payroll Control Record: Ensure that the payroll control record settings are appropriate for part-time employees and that they are not inadvertently set to exclude or miscalculate part-time workers.
  Consult with HR: If there are discrepancies in the employee's status or classification, consult with the HR department to ensure that the employee's records are accurate and up to date.
