Hi makld,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! You can set up a deduction category and add it on your employee's pay run inclusion so it'll be automatically added on a pay run. Here's how to set up a deduction category: 

 

  1. Go to Employees tab.
  2. Select Payroll Settings and then select Deduction Categories.
  3. Select Add and enter a Name for the deduction.
  4. Select a Deduction type and Classification.
  5. Then select Save.

 

Here's how to set up a deduction for an employee: 

 

  1. Go to Employees tab.
  2. Select an employee.
  3. Select Pay Run Inclusions and then select Add.
  4. Select the Deduction category created.
  5. Select and enter Amount (per pay run).
  6. Select how This deduction should be paid.
  7. Enter any other relevant fields (including start and end dates), then select Save.

 

Once you process a pay run that includes this employee, the deduction will automatically appear.
