Add a Misc. Deduction to an Employee Record

Once pay deductions have been configured at Payroll→Pay Deductions, you can add the appropriate one(s) to employee records. First, ensure that all roles that need access to the employee Miscellaneous Deductions tab have it. Click on Configure→ Security→Configure Roles→Select the role that needs access→Desktop Security→Expand Employees→Misc Deductions checkbox and Save.

1. With the employee record open, click on the Misc. Deductions tab

2. Click on the Add button

3. Select the Description from the drop-down.

• Note: If the payroll rules are set to follow effective date (and an effective date is applicable), enter it here. If the start delay days differs from the default pay deduction definition, enter that here.

4. The Type for the deduction auto-populates based on the configuration settings…”A” for amount or “P” for percentage.

5. The Amount field allows for the entry of a dollar amount (when the type is an amount) and a percentage (when the type is a percentage).

• Note: This specifies the amount to be deducted from the check.

6. The next two fields, Employer Type and Employer Amount, are used to specify any employer

contributions (if applicable) per deduction.

7. Additional fields: A hard dollar limit can also be set per pay deduction. The “Date Last Taken” field will auto-update based on most recent payroll processing. A maximum deduction percentage or amount can be specified in the next 2 fields. “AP Vendor Account” and “Account #” are available if you are using the system’s AP functionality and want to link a particular deduction with a payable account.
