This typically occurs when the same UIDCT is assigned to multiple contract references, which is not allowed in the system.

  Review the contract references for the employee in question. Ensure that each contract has a unique UIDCT assigned to it.

  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run a consistency check on the payroll data to identify any other potential issues that may arise from incorrect UIDCT assignments.
