Unable to renumber employee when using time track module in 2018

SUGGESTED

Client is getting the message "You cannot renumber an employee record if the employee has existing TimeTrack entry records."

While I understand why the message appears there is a bit of a practical problem here.

If the payroll period ends on Friday and the payroll department is processing payroll on Monday and transfer to the payroll module for the prior week,  odds are there will already be a time punch for Monday morning thus practically speaking there is no way you could ever renumber an employee if you are using the Time Track functionality.
