Enter Default Timesheets - Deductions Tab

Access this tab using Timesheets>Enter Default Timesheets. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this tab to enter default deduction information for an employee. Deduction information includes a Deduction Code, a Rate, and an Amount (if required for the calculation method).

 

Deductions Table

• Code: Select a deduction code. Enter as many deductions as are appropriate for this employee.
• Calculation Method: The system displays the calculation method for each deduction code selected.
• Rate: The system displays a percentage, if the Fixed Percentage of Earnings (FP) calculation method was selected for the deduction. Enter an amount if the calculation method is Percentage on Timesheet (PT). The percentage you enter must be positive or zero, however it cannot exceed the Maximum Percentage set on the Maintain>Payroll>Deduction Codes form.
• Amount: The system displays an amount if a Fixed Hourly Amount (FH) or Fixed Amount (FA) calculation method was selected for the deduction. Enter an amount if the calculation method is Amount on Timesheet (AT). The amount you enter can be positive, negative, or zero. (Use the minus key or the space bar to enter a negative amount.)

Total Hours: This is the employee's total for the Hours column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Gross Pay: This is the employee's total for the Amount column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Calculation methods were assigned to deduction codes using Maintain>Payroll>Deduction Codes. Therefore, deduction information for codes with a calculation method of Fixed Amount (FA), Fixed Percentage of Earnings (FP), Fixed Hourly Amount (FH), and Amount on Timesheets (AT), were entered on the Deductions Codes form.
