Garnishment Notes

The Notes slide-out panel in the Payroll > Garnishments screen of People allows payroll administrators to view, add, edit, or delete notes that are associated with an employee's garnishments. The process of associating a note in the Garnishments screen works the same as the Notes panel of the Overview screen in People. See Employee Notes in the HR Administration Guide.

Note: Notes entered in the Overview and Garnishments screens are feature-specific. That is, if you post a note in the Garnishments screen, it won’t be visible in the Overview screen and vice versa.

To associate a note with an employee's garnishment:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Payroll > Garnishments.
2. Click Notes at the top of the Garnishments screen. The Notes slide-out panel opens.
3. 
3. Click in the Write a note text box to see the note fields.
4. 
4. (Optional) In the Comment field, click the upload files icon to attach files to the note. See Add Attachments to Employee Notes in the HR Administration Guide.
5. Enter supporting information associated with the employee's garnishment record in the following fields:
   • Title: Include the garnishment name as part of the title so that you can use it as keyword filter criteria in the future and identify all notes associated with a specific garnishment record.
   • Comment: Enter additional comments about the garnishment.
   • Associated Date: Indicate the Effective From Date of the garnishment record in the Associated Date field to use as filter criteria to identify notes related to multiple garnishments. Doing so identifies notes that are effective at a given point in time or to a specific effective period of a single garnishment record in cases where an update to an order has been received.
6. Click Post to add the note to the employee's garnishment.
