Employees withholding on a deduction in payroll is overstated

Employees withholding amount for a deduction is largely too high in the payroll. 

• Munis

• Payroll Start and Status

• Earnings and Deductions

• Employee Deductions

• Deduction and Benefit Master

The deduction was setup with a calc code 03-Pct from Deduction Master instead of 02-Amt from Employee Deduction (Example, the Employee Amt/Pct field was defined with 31.00 so it was taking 31% instead of a flat $31.00)

1. Go to Deduction and Benefit Master (Payroll>Payroll Setup>Deduction and Benefit Master)

2. Search for the deduction. Click Accept. Click Update. 

3. Select the drop down next to the Calc Code field and select 02-Amt from Employee Deductions. Click Accept.

4. Go to Employee Deductions (Payroll>Employee Maintenance>Employee Deductions)

5. Search for the employee(s) and Deduction. Click Accept. 

6. Click Update. Change the calc code to 02-Amt from Employee Deductions. Click Accept.

   1. Make this change for any employee who currently has the deduction. 

   2. If there is a large number of records, these can be updated via an Import.
