Payroll
New. This version introduces software support for Child Support deductions. To implement Child Support in your payroll you will need to perform the following…
- In Maintain System Options enter your Child Support Agency (CSA) Employer Reference Number.
- Also in Maintain System Options check that the CSA Protected Earnings Amount (PEA) is set to $318.00 – the current PEA for 2011.
- In Maintain Deductions create/change Child Support deductions. Make sure the deduction is not taxable and give it a deduction type of…
- Child Support with PEA if the deduction is to include the PEA in the calculation.
- Child Support without PEA if the deduction is made under a Section 72A order.
- Using Maintain Employees create deduction details for those employees for whom a Child Support deduction is required. When a Child Support deduction is created for an employee, default bank deduction details will be automatically applied to it. Note that the bank details cannot be edited.
How it works…
Child Support is calculated before any other After Tax deductions. It uses the same calculation methods as other deductions with the exception being that the PEA is applied when necessary.
Child Support is treated as a bank EFT deduction. Child Support will be reported on the Bank EFT Report printed during Produce Pays and entries will be created in the bank EFT file for electronic transfer to CSA’s bank account.
Like other deductions, Child Support deductions are not automatically created for manual pays.
