  Check Payroll Results: Verify that the payroll run has been executed successfully for the relevant period and that there are payroll results available for the employees in question.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the payroll schema and related configuration settings are correctly set up. This includes checking the infotypes and ensuring that the necessary data is populated for the employees.
