How the Payroll Process Calculates Involuntary Deduction Payroll Run Results for the US

When calculating involuntary deductions, the payroll process generates multiple run result values to assist you in understanding what calculations were made during the payroll run.

Run Result Values

These are the involuntary deduction results values.

Run result	What it means
ActualOrderAmount	Order amount you entered on the Involuntary Deductions card component. This represents the override value.
AvailableCBEarnings	Not used.
AvailableEarnings	Amount of available earnings calculated by the payroll process. View the run result values of the calculator element to see the disposable income for the period (DisposableIncome) and for the run (DisposableIncome_run).
DeductionsCalculated	Amount of the involuntary deduction calculated by the payroll process. Shows the actual amount deducted in the payroll run.
OrderNumber	Reference code entered on the Involuntary Deductions card component.
ProtectedPayAmt	Amount of protected pay calculated by the payroll process.
ReferenceCode2	Element entry ID value generated from the Involuntary Deductions card component.
ThirdPartyPayee	Internal ID of the third-party payee for the order amount.
TotalOwedAmount	Total owed amount entered on the Involuntary Deductions card component. This represents the override value on the card component, if you entered one.
l_area1	Numeric state geocode.

These are the processing fee results values.

Run result	What it means
FeeCalculated	Amount of the fee calculated by the payroll process.
OrderNumber	Reference code entered on the Involuntary Deductions card component.
ReferenceCode2	Element entry ID value generated from the Involuntary Deductions card component.
State	Two-character state code.
ThirdPartyPayee	Internal ID of the third-party payee for the processing fee.

These are the result values specific to the calculator element.

Run result	What it means
OrderNumber	Reference code entered on the Involuntary Deductions card component.
CalculatedOrderAmt	Amount calculated for the involuntary deduction. This result isn't the final calculated deduction amount.
ProrationRule	Support orders use the Prorate rule. The ProrationCalcRule run result shows the hierarchy rule. For all other deduction types, this can be: Divide Equally First Come First Serve Prorate
ProtectedPayAmt	Amount of protected pay calculated by the payroll process.
CalculationInfo1	Info related to total owed balances, calculation rules, multiples allowed rule, the not allowed rule, and for federal tax levies, info for the deductions at time-of-writ calculations. For further info, see the following table.
CalculationInfo2	If the info in CalculationInfo1 exceeds the character count, the remainder appears here.
DisposableIncome	Disposable income amount for the pay period.
DisposableIncome_run	Disposable income amount for the payroll run.
ProrationCalcRule	For support orders, the proration calculation rule used. Other deduction types don't use this.
ReferenceCode2	Element entry ID value generated from the Involuntary Deductions card component.

These are the calculator element information values. They show info related to:

Total owed balances
Calculation rules
Multiples allowed rule
Not allowed rule
For federal tax levies, they show info for the deductions at time-of-writ calculations

The contents of the CalculationInfo1 and CalculationInfo2 value can vary based on the info shown in the table. If the info exceeds the character count, the remainder appears in CalculationInfo2.

In this case	This is the run result vale	For example
Involuntary deductions subject to a total owed balance	Returns this run result after the order has been satisfied. `TotalOwed=<total owed amount>/<total amount accrued>`	`TotalOwed=200/200`
States that don't allow certain types of involuntary deductions	Returns this run result. `OrderNotAllowed`	For a Texas garnishment or South Carolina creditor debt, the result would be: `OrderNotAllowed` This scenario generates a message.
States with multiple legislative rules to determine proper calculations	Returns one of these run results. `PPCalcRule=DI` `PPCalcRule=Gross` `PPCalcRule=MinWage`	A New York Creditor Debt has three rules that determine the proper calculation. If the deduction calculation uses 25% of disposable income, the result would be: `PPCalcRule=DI` If the deduction calculation uses 10% of gross wages, the result would be: `PPCalcRule=Gross` If the deduction calculation uses 30 times the state or federal minimum wage, the result would be: `PPCalcRule=MinWage`
States that don't allow multiple involuntary deductions of the same type to be processed concurrently	Returns this run result on subsequent multiple orders. `MultipleOrdersAllowed= N`	For subsequent Montana garnishments, the result would be: `MultipleOrdersAllowed= N` This scenario generates a message.
Federal tax levies with deduction at time-of-writ overrides	Returns this run result. `DednAtWrit=<after tax flat amount>/<after-tax calculated percentage amount>/<deferred compensation 401k calculated percentage amount>/<pretax flat amount>/<pretax calculated percentage amount>/<deferred compensation 403b calculated percentage amount>/<deferred compensation 457 calculated percentage amount>`	`DednAtWrit=10/10.4928/0/20/30/0/0`
