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.

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.
