Understanding Setup Steps for Deduction Elements

A deduction is a payroll element that subtracts from a person's pay. If you are using Absence Management with Payroll Interface, you can create deduction elements in addition to earning elements to compensate payees for time off. Do not create deduction elements if you are using Payroll for North America with Absence Management. Absence Management does not transmit deduction data to Payroll for North America.

To create a deduction element, use the Deduction Name and Calculation pages. To view the system-generated components and accumulators that are created for the deduction element, select Auto Generated Accumulators.

Note:

Rounding/Proration, Arrears, Accumulators, and Recipient pages do not apply to Absence Management users.
