Hi Miki Wong , 
 Thanks for reaching out. To change the name of a payroll deduction or income, you typically need to: 
 
 Open your company file under sysadmin and in single user mode. 
 Ensure no other windows are opened by clicking on View, then Close All Other Sage 50 Windows. 
 Navigate to Setup, then Settings, select Payroll, and go to Names. 
 Choose Incomes & Deductions and under the Name column, you can type in the new name for the income or deduction. 
 Click OK to save your changes. 
 
 However, certain default incomes like Overtime might have restrictions that prevent them from being renamed directly due to their integrated nature in the payroll system. This might be why you're encountering difficulties with these specific types. 
 For more detailed guidance or if the issue persists, I recommend reaching out directly to Sage 50's support team or consulting the "How do I create a new payroll income or deduction?" guide for potentially helpful workarounds. This guide might offer insights on creating new income types that suit your needs, allowing you to bypass the restrictions on renaming default entries. 
 Here's the link to the guide for creating new payroll income or deduction for further reference: How to create a new payroll income or deduction? 
 If this helps, please mark it as verified :) 
 Warm Regards, Erzsi
