MICROS incrementing shifts

I'm having the same issue as the thread187-1747655. it started after I upgraded to 5.5. I looked in the DB and there were no records with null values in the shift_seq column
I am also getting an error message when calling the "clock out and in all employees" stored procedure referencing another table with null values for a record that I cannot find in the database

this is what I get in the DLog
