Add Deductions to the Involuntary Deductions Card for the US

You use the Calculation Cards task to update the Involuntary Deductions card and add deductions. You represent each deduction with a card component. You can attach more than one deduction to a card by adding multiple components.

Each card component represents an involuntary order received for the employee or an employee-requested deduction. When you add the card component, the task creates an element entry for the associated involuntary deduction element.

When managing these calculation components, consider the following.

• What happens when you create the deduction's calculation component

• How you set the deduction's calculation components details

• How you set overrides for the deduction

• How you change the processing priority

What Happens When You Create the Deduction's Component

When you add a deduction, you're prompted to provide this info.

For this field	Required	You enter this
Calculation Component	Yes	Name of the deduction you're adding. This list is based on the involuntary deduction elements that you defined.
Element Name	N/A	This read-only value is the reporting name of the involuntary deduction element you selected as the calculation component. You can't change this value.
Subprocessing Order	No	Processing order override for cases when multiple card components have been defined. When you create the card component, it inherits its subprocessing order based on the element's secondary classification.
State	Varies	State, district, or territory imposing legislative rules on the support or withholding order. This value is normally the work state for support orders. Required for state-issued orders, such as garnishments. Not applicable for federal orders, such as Bankruptcy.
Reference Code	Yes	An identifier to uniquely identify this deduction, such as a court order number, or other identifier provided by the issuing authority. This value must be unique by deduction type and state. Note: The e-IWO format is: <CSE Agency Case ID>-<issuing state>-<remittance ID> For example: 12345-CA-45554. If you're using e-IWO, the e-IWO process generates reference code for you. For further info, see How the Electronic Income Withholding Order Processes Derive Reference Codes in the Help Center.

How You Set the Deduction's Calculation Component Details

The Calculation Component Details tab is where you enter configuration details for the deduction. It includes multiple sections, and their content varies according to the deduction type.

• Involuntary Deduction Child Data

• Involuntary Deduction Payment Details

• Involuntary Deduction Rules

• US Involuntary Deduction Contact Information

• US Involuntary Deduction Data

Depending on the type of involuntary deduction, you might have to provide values in one or more of these sections.

For further info, see Configure Involuntary Deduction Details for the US in the Help Center.

How You Set Overrides for the Deduction

Each deduction type has a set of calculation value definitions that the payroll process uses when calculating the deduction. You can override these settings through Enterable Calculation Values on Calculation Cards on the card component.

For further info, see Overview of Involuntary Deduction Overrides for the US in the Help Center.

How You Change the Processing Priority

You use the Subprocessing Order override for cases when a person has multiple involuntary deductions on their card. When you create the card component for a deduction, it inherits its subprocessing order based on the associated element's secondary classification. Change this number to alter the deduction's priority during payroll processing. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

There might be cases of duplicate involuntary deduction components where you:

1. Are using the same element for them.

2. And you either haven't set a subprocessing order or are using the same subprocessing order.

When this happens, the payroll processes the elements in order by the lowest element entry ID. This element entry ID the order in which element entries were created.

For these secondary classifications	These are the recommended priority ranges
Alimony Child Support Spousal Support	1 - 100
Bankruptcy Order	101 - 200
Tax Levy	201 - 300
Regional Tax Levy	301 - 400
Debt Collection Improvement Act	401 - 500
Educational Loan	501 - 600
Garnishment	601 - 700
Creditor Debt	701 - 800
Employee Requested	801 - 900
