If cost centers are being used and multiple entities are set up for the employee, a link labeled 'Other entities' (and the number of entities) displays and provides access to the Employee Entities page.

Only deductions and add-ons set up in this screen are used during pay cycles for the main company entity. Setup for other entities is done in the Entity-Specific Recurring Deductions / Add-ons window in Employee Entities.

Select the Status button to specify which deduction and add-on codes display on this grid. This will help when uploading deduction and add-on codes at year-end.

If the calculation method is Percentage of Gross or Percentage of Net or Percentage of Gross by Time Card, enter the employee's add-on or deduction percentage.

If the value shown is for a shared percentage, you may opt to enter a value, but if you do, it must sum to 100% when combined with its shared code's percentage.

For more information, see Shared Limit Setup.

If using shared limits, this field is disabled.

The monthly deduction/add-on limit on the Deduction History Report and the Add-on History Report is determined by the Monthly Limit field. If this field is blank, the monthly limit on the reports is determined by the Monthly limit field on the Deduction/Add-on Code Maintenance screen.

If you use monthly limits, be sure to perform the Period End Clear after the last payroll cycle of each month.

Cycle limit amt

Cycle limit %

Enter the per pay cycle limit amount or limit percentage for this add-on or deduction code. This limit is a percentage of gross wages (any rate x hours, other pay types 1,2,3,SA,SR, but not counting any add-ons).

These fields are only available if the Fixed Amount, Percent of Gross Amount, or Percent of Related Code option is selected in the Calculation method field on the Deduction / Add-on Maintenance > Properties screen. View more info on calculation methods.

The A/P vendor code defaults from Deduction Code Maintenance, if recorded there. The vendor name displays to the right of this field.

Entries in this field supersede the Deduction Maintenance vendor. If no vendor code is recorded in either screen, but the checkbox is selected, no AP invoice is created. A warning message prints on the Deduction Report alerting the reader that no invoice will be created unless a vendor code is recorded prior to update.

Add-on codes not paid to the employee on the paycheck, such as employer-matching 401(k), create invoices in Accounts Payable. Add-on codes paid to employees do not transfer to A/P at all. Voided checks create credit memos in A/P.

The short description prints on the check stub. The drill-down prints on the A/P check when the option to print separate remittance advice has been selected in the Accounts Payable Installation screen.

The employee's add-on or deduction accumulation for the year. The accumulation is the to-date amount of add-on or deductions taken. No entry is allowed. Add-ons that are paid to the employee on the check may not create A/P invoices.

Add-ons that are not paid on the check may create invoices, not credit memos. An example of this type of code would be the employer-matching 401(k) amount. If A/P invoice is selected, but a vendor code has not been designated, then no invoice is created; in this case, the Deduction Report includes a warning for those codes.
