Understanding Deduction Overrides

The system computes regular deductions based on deduction data at the company level and the employee level. You can make permanent or one-time changes to deduction data.

Permanent Deduction Overrides

To make a permanent change to deduction data:

• Use the Deduction Table pages to change the basic attributes of a deduction, such as:
  
  • Processing priority.
  • Classification (before-tax, nontaxable benefit).
  • Effect on FICA gross and FUT gross.
  • Maximum yearly deduction.
  • Deduction frequency.
  • Pay periods in which the deduction is taken.
• Use one of the Benefits Table pages (for benefit deductions) or the General Deduction Table page (for nonbenefit deductions) to change how the system calculates a deduction.
• Use the General Deduction Override page (for nonbenefit deductions) or the Benefit Deduction Override page (for benefit deductions) to override processing parameters at the employee level that are normally controlled by the Deduction table:
  
  • Pay periods in which the deduction is taken.
  • Information on maximum arrears payback.
• Use the General Deduction Data page to change employee-specific deduction data not governed by the Deduction table. This data includes:
  
  • The calculation option, with related dollar amounts, rates, or percentages.
  • Start and stop dates.
  • A goal amount and current goal balance.
