A payroll deduction occurs when an employer removes funds from an employee's pay before they receive their pay cheque. While some payroll deductions are mandated by legislation, others are the result of a private agreement between an employer and employee.
The Payroll platform default setup for a new business includes three basic deduction categories:
- Salary sacrifice super
- Pre-tax deduction
- Post-tax deduction
The Deduction Categories feature allows you to create a new deduction category and specify details such as the category, external ID, payment classification, and liability general ledger mapping code. You can also use this feature to edit any previously entered information and delete a record that is no longer required.
