Select a Garnishment Payee for Canadian Employees

A mandatory step for creating a garnishment record is to select the payee for the garnishment payment. Before you can do this, you need to set up the necessary third-party payees, or verify if the payee already exists.

You can review and define payees in the Payees tab of Payroll Setup > Third Party Payees. Certain payees, such as for family support, come preconfigured. The Payment Method section of the payee details indicates how the payment is made to the payee.

Note: See Third Party Payee Configuration.

In the Payroll > Garnishments screen of People, assign a payee in the Payee Details section of the Properties tab for the garnishment record by selecting an option from the Payee drop-down list.

When you select a payee, the application automatically populates its address information:

In the Payee Details section, a Payee is selected and address information is populated.
