Create a Third-Party Payee

You need to set up third parties for court orders and define the recipients of the deductions as third-party payees.

You can use this for payments made:

• Directly to the individual
• Directly to the organization

Before you start

• You need to have set up the organization payment method.
• You need to add the organization payment method to the employee’s payroll Valid Payment Method.

Here's what to do

1. Create a third party and select the Party Type.
2. Select the Party Usage Code as External Payee and continue.
3. Enter the name of the third party.
4. Add an address and provide the details.
5. Add a contact and provide the details.
6. Submit your changes.
7. Select the legislative data group for the third party.
8. Add the bank and provide the bank account for the third-party payment.
9. Save your changes.
   After you create the third party, you need to link it to the organization payment method.

Results:

You can now select this third party from the list of values for the Payee for Order Amount field. You can do this in the Court Orders calculation card component.

Note: All court orders must have a third-party set up. For non third-party payment court orders, you can either provide a dummy bank account within the Banking Details component or create a dummy third-party payment method as either cheque or cash. You can then attach this to all your non third-party court orders.
