Enter One Time Deductions

Overview:

There are two methods of setting up/manually entering employee deductions:

  • Voluntary/Recurring Deductions
    • Voluntary Deductions are set up before payroll is processed and automatically calculate and automatically get reduced from the employees check. From a payroll process standpoint, nothing needs to be entered/updated in order for these deductions to calculate
  • One Time Deductions
    • One Time Deductions are deductions that can be entered for a specific pay period. One Time Deductions will only calculate/deduct from check when manually keyed into a time entry batch

In the event a single employee, has the same deduction # set up as a Voluntary Deduction and a One time Deduction was keyed, system Option #91 will dictate whether the One Time Deduction will add to the Voluntary Deduction, or if the One Time Deduction will replace the Voluntary Deduction. The default setting of Option #91 is set to override the Voluntary Deduction amount.
