Understanding Deductions

The PeopleSoft system provides a number of deductions to demonstrate the flexibility of Global Payroll rules and meet common processing requirements, such as the preservation of minimum net pay. The following sections discuss various ways to use deductions and supporting elements.

In the following table, the first column combines the deduction's name and description. The code (gc) indicates that the deduction has a generation control. The code (po) indicates a post-processing formula, and the code (pr) indicates a pre-processing formula. The other columns indicate the deduction's calculation rule of Unit × Rate, Unit × Rate × Percent, or Base × %. The formulas used for some of the deduction codes are discussed in further detail. The code (sy) stands for system element; it is not part of the element name.
