For help about the options and fields on the Common Deduction Limits window, select from the fields listed below.
Deduction Group
Enter an identifying code for the deduction group that will include the deduction codes with a common limit.
Description
Enter a description for the Deduction Group. This description can be up to 60 characters. Because a deduction group's description is used to identify the deduction group in Finder boxes and on payroll reports, you must enter a description before the system will allow you to add the deduction group.
Last Maintained
This is an informational field in which the program displays the date of the last change made. You do not make an entry in this field.
Inactive as of
If you choose to make a deduction group inactive, the system displays the current date in the As Of field to indicate the date on which the inactive status was set. After a deduction group is inactive it will not be used in payroll calculations, even if the period end date is before the As Of Date.
Selection List
Choose the selection list for which you want to apply the deduction group.
Notes:
- If you have only one employee for which the limit applies, you must create a selection list for that employee.
- If you have multiple employees to which the common deduction limits should apply, you must create a selection list for that group of employees.
- If you leave the selection list blank, the deduction group will apply to all employees.
Annual Maximum (Employee and Employer)
Enter the annual amount at which calculations for this deduction group should stop.
Deduction/Description
Select the deduction codes to be included in this deduction group. A deduction code can belong to only one deduction group.
Important! The system will use the order by which the deduction codes are listed on the Common Deduction Limits window to determine the order by which the deductions will reduce the limit. Verify the list order is appropriate to ensure accurate processing.
