Setting Up Union Dues Deductions

Set up union dues as general deductions. The system takes these deductions only when paying a job that is affiliated with the union code. Therefore, if an employee is a member of a union, but one job does not qualify for union membership, the system does not take dues for that job.

If the system calculates union dues as a percentage of earnings, PeopleSoft recommends that you:

1. Assign a unique earnings code to each job that is associated with the union.

2. Create a special accumulator to track the total earnings for jobs with that earnings code.

Consequently, when calculating the union dues, the system considers only the earnings from jobs enrolled in the corresponding union.
