Entering Garnishments
Use the Assign Garnishments FRA page to create a new garnishment. Enter the garnishment amount, the start date and end date, the type of garnishment, and other instructions.
When you save the garnishment data, the system :
Identifies deduction elements for each garnishment type based on the Garnishment Elements setup data.
Assigns a deduction to the payee. View the assignment on the Element Assignment by Payee (GP_ED_PYE) component or the Payee Assignment by Element (GP_ED_ELEM) component.
Creates a section override for the payee section named SAI SE SAISIES (the garnishments section). The override instructions appear on the Section Overrides page.
For the garnishment instructions to be processed, you must add the section SAI SE SAISIES to the process list that you use to calculate the payee's pay.
Note: To see the names of the deduction elements used for garnishment processing and the names of the variables that store the garnishment ID, start date, and initial amount, access the Rates and Elements page using the component name, GPFR_GAR_DAT.

Type |
Select the type of garnishment. Valid values are:
|
Start Date |
(Required) Enter the date on which the payee's earnings become subject to garnishment. The date should fall within the current processing period. You cannot change this date once the system processes the first garnishment amount. If you enter a start date that falls within an earlier processing period, the system will not begin to calculate the garnishment until you process a retroactive pay run. In addition, the results may be unpredictable and may require manual adjustment. |
Amount |
If the garnishment is for alimony, enter the amount of the monthly payment. In all other cases, enter the initial amount of the garnishment. That is, enter the total amount owed according to the garnishment notice. If you need to change the amount of the garnishment later, use positive input. See Changing a Garnishment Balance later in this section for more information. |
