Changing a Garnishment Balance

In Global Payroll for France you adjust a payee's garnishment balance by entering a supporting element override. For example, if you receive a notice from the court stating that a garnishment has been cancelled or reduced, use the Supporting Elements page (GP_PAYEE_SOVR) to enter the amount of the adjustment.

To enter an adjustment:

  1. Access the Supporting Elements page (Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Payee Data > Create Overrides > Supporting Elements).

  2. Enter Variable in the Element Type field.

  3. In the Element Name field, enter or select the variable name that corresponds to the garnishment for which you are entering an adjustment.

    Use this table to determine which variable corresponds to the garnishment you are adjusting:

    Note: You will enter the adjustment amount using the variable associated with this garnishment.

    Important! Each variable is exclusive to one deduction only.

  4. Enter the begin date and end date of the period to which the adjustment applies. If you do not enter an end date equal to the end of the period for which you want to update the garnishment, the same adjustment will be processed over several periods.

    The exception to this rule is if you want to increase (or decrease) an alimony garnishment for several periods. In this case, enter an end date equal to the last day of the final period in which you want to make an adjustment. In all cases, the adjustment is taken into account only in the first segment of the period processed.

  5. On the same page, in the Numeric Value field, enter the monetary amount by which you want to increase or decrease the garnishment.
