4% benefits and retirement savings for employees of gross pay. This is a benefit, not a deduction. How do I set this up in payroll?

In order to accomplish the goal you've reached out about, I encourage you to follow the steps below as they show you how to successfully set up a contribution:

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
2. Select the employee from the list.
3. From Deductions & contributions, select Start or Edit.
4. Select + Add deduction/contribution.
5. Select an existing Deduction/contribution.
6. Under the Employee contribution section, select how your deduction is calculated. Then enter the amount or percentage.
7. Select Save, then select Done.
