Define subsets of deductions. |
A deduction subset is a group of deductions that you select from the standard set of deductions that you define for your company. Use deduction subsets to process only a subset of the deductions that have been set up on an employee's record. For example, when running a bonus payroll, you may want to have 401(k) and garnishments deducted from the bonus checks but not medical, dental, and so on. A deduction subset is set up with only 401(k) and garnishments deductions. The subset is added to the pay calendar, which sends it to the paysheets. When the payroll is run, any deductions that are not in the subset are not taken from any of the checks. This enables overriding the deductions on a group of employee's without having to look up each individual employee and entering a one-time override on the paysheet.
You can define as many deduction subsets as needed. As you establish deductions on the Deduction table, you can include each one in as many of the deduction subsets as needed. You can also set up a deduction subset ID with which you associate no deductions at all. You could use this no-deductions subset on pay runs for which you want to ensure that no deductions are taken.
Note: Create the deduction subset before defining the deductions so that the subset is available for use when creating the deduction codes. If you were to create the subsets after defining the deductions, you would have to go back into the Deduction table in Correction mode to add the deduction subset to the appropriate deductions. Correction mode access is rarely given to users.
