Setting Maximum Amounts for Garnishments

In Global Payroll for France you specify the maximum garnishment amount for tax debt (IMPOT 1–3), ordinary debt (CREANCE 1–3), and penal sentence debt (COND PENAL 1–3) by entering a supporting element override.

Note: You do not need to set maximum garnishment amounts for PENSION AL 1–3 (alimony pension); these garnishments already have a maximum amount set by law. While the other types of garnishments are not restricted by law, individual court judgements may set a maximum garnishment amount.

To set maximum garnishment amounts for a payee:

  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 that you want to limit.

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