In Payroll > Data Entry, or in Payroll > Pay Run Management, in the Checks sub-tab, you can create quick entries or check entries that add to, subtract from, or replace the garnishment amounts that the application subtracts from an employee's payments. You can also update how the application calculates garnishments for a particular payment.
Before You Begin: Before you can create garnishment quick entries, you need to set up the details of the garnishment by entering it on the employee's profile in the Payroll > Garnishments screen of People. See Garnishment Management.
In the Checks sub-tab, you can add garnishments in the Entries dialog box:
In the Quick Entry tab, you can add a new quick entry to the list. When you add a quick entry, the application assigns it the default (normal) check template that is configured for the pay run (for example, the system Normal check template). This means that the application will apply the quick entry to the employee's payment that uses the normal check template (that is, the employee's normal pay). You can edit the check template by selecting a different option from the Check Template column of the quick entry, if needed.
In the Quick Entry tab, you can click Favorites in the toolstrip and select the Garnishment Entry option so that the application loads only the columns that are relevant to garnishments. You can also create your own custom column views that include or exclude certain columns.
When you create a quick entry or check entry for a garnishment, you need to select the garnishment from the Code field. The list only includes garnishments that are assigned to the employee that the entry is for, and that are active. Garnishment codes include the name and, in brackets, the order number of the garnishment:
When you select a garnishment in the Code drop-down list of a check entry or quick entry, the Replace checkbox automatically displays a selected checkbox. You can clear the checkbox if needed.
