Creation of New Garnishments

If you need to create your own garnishment, use the delivered garnishment PENSION ALIM as the model. To create a new garnishment:

1. Create a deduction defined as Base times Percent on the Calculation page in the Deduction component.

2. To calculate the base, first create an accumulator (for example, the delivered accumulator PERC PENSION ALIM) containing all of the earnings on which the garnishment is based minus all pretax deductions (for example, the delivered accumulator DED PENSION AI).

3. This accumulator is the base for the garnishment tax, so you should then create a formula to apply tax formulas to this base (for example, the delivered formula PA FM IMP PERC).

   The garnishment base is then the earnings accumulator (PERC PENSION ALIM) minus the taxes generated by this accumulator (PA FM IMP PERC), minus the accumulator that contains the deductions after taxes (for example, the delivered accumulator DED PENSION DI).

4. Assign this deduction to a recipient using the Recipients page in the Deductions component.
