Link a general recipient to a deduction.

After defining recipients, you assign them to deductions and payees. Where to assign recipients depends on the type of deduction.

When assigning recipients, you'll do the following:

  • Link individual recipients to deductions and payees through the payee-level Deduction Recipients page.

  • Link general recipients to deductions through the Recipient page of the Deduction component.

The topics below discuss each recipient type in detail.

Individual Recipients

If you have a deduction whose recipient is unique by payee, such as a garnishment deduction that goes to an individual, you assign a recipient on the payee-level Deduction Recipients page.

Note: The payee-level Deduction Recipients page is found under Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, Payee Data, Net Pay/Recipient Elections, Add Deduction Recipients and is discussed in this topic.

See Add Deduction Recipients Page.

General Recipients

If you have a deduction whose recipient is a general entity, such as an insurance payment that goes to an insurance carrier, you establish the recipient information on the deduction definition, telling the system to sum up the amounts from all payees who have this deduction and send the total to one recipient.

When you link a general recipient to a deduction, you choose between:

  • Selecting the recipient by recipient ID.

  • Selecting a formula that determines which general recipient receives the deduction.

    The formula is resolved during the Calculate phase of the batch process, when the deduction is resolved. The result is stored in the Earnings and Deductions results table. When you run the banking process, the system retrieves the recipient ID from the results table.

Note: You can override the general recipient of a deduction for a particular payee, on the payee-level Deduction Recipients page.

The Recipient page in the Deduction component is discussed in another topic in this product documentation.

See Defining Deduction Elements.

Element Name

Select the deduction for which to define recipient information.

Recipient Tag

Enter the recipient tag. Tags are used for multiple resolution of deductions and single resolutions of deductions for Individual Recipients. A given payee could have one or more recipient tags and the tags are associated either with a recipient ID or with a recipient name. Tags are numeric. A Recipient Tag that is associated with an 'Individual' Deduction Recipient must have a value greater than zero. This will ensure the zero Recipient Tag is available if the General Deduction Recipient needs to be assigned to this employee along with individual recipients. The system will add the amount that resolves when there is no earning or deduction assignment.

Recipient ID

Select the recipient ID for a predefined recipient (recipients are set up using the Deduction Recipients component). To define a new recipient, leave this field blank and complete the Recipient Name field. When you select an existing recipient, the system displays the recipient name next to the Recipient ID field. Click the recipient name link to access the Define Deduction Recipients component (RECIPIENT) where you can view and update the recipient's details.
