Define Court Order Adjustments and Overrides

You can use the adjustment element to adjust or override the calculated values for court orders, if allowed for the court order type.

The adjustment amount that you enter is either added or subtracted from the calculated value of deduction. And the override amount you enter overrides the calculated value of deduction.

Before You Start

The Court Orders and Student Loans calculation component must already exist for the employee.

Define Adjustment or Override

Here are the steps to define the adjustment element:

1. Select the Element Entries task from Payroll.

2. Click Add.

3. Search for and select the relevant adjustment element.

   Note: The Court Orders and Student Loans calculation component must already exist for the employee. The adjustment elements available are those that are actually present for the employee, that is, the court order components of the calculation card.

4. Click OK.

5. On the Create Element Entry page, enter the required information.

6. Click Continue.

7. On the Element Entries page, select the Adjustment Type. You can select these values for adjustment type:

   • Adjustment: The amount you enter is either added or subtracted from the calculated value of deduction.

   • Override: The amount you enter overrides the calculated value of deduction.

8. Enter the values for Amount and Reference.

9. Click Costing to enter any costing data for the adjustment element.

10. Click Submit.

When you run the payroll process, it either overrides or adjusts the calculated value, as specified.

Override Court Order Processing Fee

If a particular court order processing fee is not required, or a different value to the default amount is required, use the Processing Fee Override Amount field. This includes the ability to override to zero. If no value is entered, the application considers the current default override fee or the override fee specified at the organization level for that court order type.
