Definition
This field specifies the regular deduction to be taken from employee wages to retire employee garnishment debt.
This field consists of two components:
- Deduction value: a percentage or amount that defines how much pay will be garnished.
- Examples include 30 (percentage of net payroll), USD 200 (dollars per month), or USD 500 (dollars per pay period).
- Deduction rule: a basis for how the pay will be garnished.
- Examples include percentage of net, percentage of gross, monthly amount, or weekly amount.
This field allows for the following twelve deduction rules:
- Percentage of net
- Percentage of gross
- Pay period amount
Under this deduction rule, the system will garnish the deduction value by pay period, e.g. weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, or otherwise. - Monthly amount
- Monthly amount, collecting arrears
Under this rule, if employee pay cannot satisfy the deduction amount for this pay period, then the system will place the difference in arrearage. In the next pay period(s) of the same month, the system will attempt to garnish this difference. - Monthly amount, normalized
Under this rule, the monthly amount is annualized, then divided by the number of pay periods. For example, if the employee is paid on a weekly basis, then the monthly amount will be multiplied by 12, then divided by 52. As a result, a fixed amount will be deducted for each pay period. However, the amounts deducted from month to month may differ, depending on the number of pay periods contained in a month. - Monthly amount, normalized: collecting arrears
Under this rule, employee pay is garnished as it is under Monthly amount, collecting arrears. Moreover, the monthly amount is normalized. - Monthly Amount, collect as early as possible
This deduction unit will attempt to collect as much of the flat monthly amount as possible and as early as possible. For example, the flat amount will be due on the first payroll of the month. If it cannot be satisfied in full, the remaining amount will be due at the next payroll run, and so on until the last payroll for the month is run or the monthly amount is collected in full, whichever comes first. - Standardized monthly amount
This deduction unit works as follows: - For weekly payroll, it takes 1/4 of the garnishment amount each week, but does not take anything in the 5th week of months with 5 pay periods
- For bi-weekly payroll, it takes 1/2 of the garnishment amount, but does not take anything in the 3rd pay period of months with 3 pay periods.
- For 4-weekly payroll, it takes the garnishment amount, but does not take anything in the 2nd pay period of months with 2 pay periods.
- For other pay frequencies, it works the same as deduction unit monthly amount.
- Standardized monthly amount: collecting arrears
This deduction unit works in the same way as for the standardized monthly amount, but also attempts to collect any arrears. Arrears are also collected in the 2nd/3rd/5th period where no regular deduction takes place. - Weekly amount
- Annual amount
If the Initial balance and the Garnishment order deduction are entered simultaneously, then the latter will determine the rate of deduction for the garnishment at hand.
