Define proration formulas by state and garnishment type.

Because garnishments cannot go into arrears, some states require that employers prorate an employee's garnishments when insufficient funds are available to cover all garnishments of the same type. Proration rules are used to calculate the amount to be deducted for each garnishment.

Note: If multiple garnishments of the same type exist and you enter positive input for one of them, proration does not occur automatically. You must manually calculate the proration based on the initial row of positive input and insert a row of positive input for all garnishments of that type.

Use the Proration Formula USA page (GPUS_GRN_PRORUL) to define proration formulas by state and garnishment type.
