Issue/Symptom/Question

Do you know what how I can set up a deduction that takes all except for a specific dollar amount?

 I have a guy with an IRS levy and they get all of his disposable income except for $700.97.

Applies To

Payroll>  Setup > Deductions, Reimbursements and Other Compensation > Master Deductions

Payroll > Employees > Voluntary Deductions

Resolution/Fix/Answer

Please test in TEST first before setup in PROD:

• Setup a Deduction using Calculation Base # 8 – Disposable Net – Specified Net
• Enter Amount $700.97, select your frequency
• Click on the Disposable Income Button – Here is where you specify which Deduction #s or Fringes PENTA subtracts from the base disposable net when determining the actual disposal net income. If you forget a deduction then it will deduct more
• Assign the Employee to the deduction in Voluntary Deduction window. In the Gross To Net Priority field enter a value of 1
• Next Step would be to assign the Gross to Net Priority for all the Other “ After Tax” Deductions
• Query the Employees Deductions and make the following changes:
• IF a voluntary deduction was defined in Step 1 as "Disposable Net Income" do not alter the voluntary deduction.
• IF a voluntary deduction is set up as Before tax for FIT/FICA/MEDI/SIT do not alter the voluntary deduction.
• IF a voluntary deduction is set up as After tax for FIT/FICA/MEDI/SIT enter a value > 1 in the "Gross to Net Priority" screen.
