Deduction not taken





Description of Issue
  • I manually entered a negative deduction amount to refund my employee, but it isn't showing in the net pay.

  • I updated a deduction with an Employee withholding amount but it is not showing Taken.



Context
  • Payroll 

  • Payroll Start and Status

  • Earnings and Deductions

  • Deduction and Benefit Master

  • Payroll Exceptions 



Resolution

Manually enter a deduction gross, or process a deduction refund.

Follow the linked instructions if choosing to resolve with the deduction refund: Refunding a deduction

Manual adjustment to deduction gross:

  1. Access Earnings and Deductions Payroll > Payroll Processing > Payroll Start and Status > Earnings and Deductions

  2. Search for the Employee and click on the Withholding tab

  3. Double-click on the Deduction Code, click Update, enter the Deduction Gross and click Accept



Cause
  • Manually entered negative withholding was not entered with a corresponding negative deduction gross.

  • The Employee withholding amount was defined but the deduction gross showed 0.00. In order for a deduction to show as taken, it must have a deduction gross.
