Deductions entered were not included on employee checks

Issue/Symptom/Question

User entered the batch of deductions after timecards were entered, and these deductions were distributed, but did not show up on the employee checks.

Applies To

Payroll/Payroll Check Processes/Gross to Net Processing

Resolution/Fix/Answer

In this instance, the batch of deductions entered separately from the timecards had a future distribution date outside the current payroll period end date. 
Because of this, the deductions would not be included in the Gross to Net check process of the current week, but would be included in the appropriate period when it is processed.  

If re-entry of the deductions is possible, you would

  • void the affected employee checks leaving the distribution intact
  • create another timecard batch and re-enter the deductions to be applied to these employees, using the correct distribution date
  • distribute the new batch
  • complete the Gross to Net process and create the checks for these employees
  • verify that the deductions are correct for the current period's checks


Because the original deduction entry was for a future dated payroll, and has been distributed already you can:

  • create bogus timecards for the same incorrect future date, with enough hours to exceed the deduction amount
  • distribute these future dated timecards
  • process the Gross to Net for the future period date
  • void the checks or direct deposits created Â
