What This Process Does

  • By selecting a Pay Type on the Pay Master that does not include All Voluntary Deductions, this will override Gross IDs on the jobs with Deduction Profiles of All Deductions.
  • If the employee does not have the deduction set up and active in their deduction master, the deduction will not be withheld regardless of the deductions included in the Pay Type.

Best Practices

  • Pay Types are the overall control for the deductions which will be withheld for all employees in a Pay Master / Pay ID; the Normal Pay Type would include all deductions.
  • Additional Pay Types are used when only certain deductions need to be withheld on every employee in a payroll (such as the third payroll of the month for bi-weekly pay frequencies) and/or to produce all checks – no direct deposits.
  • An unlimited number of Pay Types can be created for different uses.

Range Criteria – Computation Levels

  • Computation Level ranging is more specific ranging to include/exclude certain voluntary deductions.
  • To range on Computation Levels, ensure that the Computation Level for the Deduction Type is unique. If all deductions with the same Computation Level should not be included/excluded, new Deduction Types may have to be created and assigned to the Deduction Descriptions.
  • The All Voluntary Deductions boolean must be false.
  • Enter a range on Computation Levels that should be included in the payroll.
  • Four ranging levels are available when certain Computation Levels need to be skipped.
