# Property does not exist on type 'never' in TypeScript

The error "Property does not exist on type 'never'" occurs when we try toaccess a property on a value of type never or when TypeScript gets confusedwhen analyzing our code.

To solve the error, use square brackets to access the property, e.g.employee['salary'].

Here is an example of how the error occurs.

index.ts

Copied!

type Employee = { salary: number;};let employee: Employee | null = null;function setEmployee() { employee = { salary: 100 };}setEmployee();// ud83dudc49ufe0f employee.
