Problem
When saving changes to employee details user gets the following error:
"An error has occured: Data type conversion error."

The error is with your Windows Regional and Language settings.
The short date format is causing the error. This should be set to the format dd/MM/yyyy – all other options will cause errors with various payroll functions.

and open the “Clock, Language and Region“:
Under “Region and Language“, click the option “Change the date, time or number format“:
To ensure the corrcet running of payroll the “Format” should be set to “English (United Kingdom)“:
Specifically, the “Short Date Format” should be set to “dd/MM/yyyy“
You should also check under “Additional settings…“
Work through the additional tabs and make sure the settings match the following screen shots:
