Interactions with General Deductions

To process a general deduction for an employee, the system uses two dates from the Create General Deductions page:

• Effective date.

• (optional) Deduction end date.

If the effective date of the deduction is before, or on, the pay period end date, the system takes the deduction.

If you specify a deduction end date, the system takes the deduction only if the deduction end date is after, or on, the pay period end date.

The following tables illustrate examples of how the system uses dates in processing general deductions:
