Issue/Symptom/Question

We have an employee that worked 16.5 hours, but he also received a one-time reimbursement. When the deduction was calculated the full amount for the deduction was not taken. There were enough funds in the disposable income to take care of the full amount. The deduction is set as:

• Calculation Base # 13 - Amt Per Pay Period (After tax)
• Frequency  # 1 - Every Period
• Minimum %of Disp Net = 50%

Environment

Penta for Windows

Master Deduction Setup:

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

Resolution/Fix/Answer

For Calculation Base #13 Deductions, Penta excludes any reimbursements when calculating the employee's Disposable Net Income. 

To have Penta include employee reimbursements in the disposable net income calculation for this type of deduction, the reimbursement should be entered in the Other Pay Amount field in the Time/ Equipment/ Production Units Entry window. See the screenshot below:
