Within your organisation, you may have a pay run where an employee needs a deduction added or removed to keep an accurate record of their pay entitlements. If this is the case, having Payroll software that allows you to action these requests quickly and easily will reduce the administrative time you spend on managing employee deductions.
You can use the Deduction feature within the Pay Run module to add a deduction line and specify details such as the deduction category, payment option, units, and any required supporting notes. You can also use this feature to delete an employee deduction line if you added it in error.
Deduction categories need creating before you can assign them to an employee within a pay run. To read further details on how to create a deduction category, refer to the following article.
Once you have created a deduction category, a pay run needs creating next, before you can add or remove an employee deduction line. To read further details on how to create a pay run, refer to the following article.

So you have now either added or removed an employee deduction line and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- Payroll pay run reporting: Pay run comparison This feature allows you to create a report that you can use to compare your organisation's finalised pay runs over a chosen period.
- Payroll pay run reporting: Pay run inclusions This feature allows you to create a report on the inclusions your organisation has processed within your finalised pay runs.
