How to exclude deductions when moving Time Entry batch into Payroll





Description of Issue

How can I prevent some deductions from pulling into our bonus check payroll run from Time Entry?



Context
  • Munis

  • Time Entry

  • Payroll Start and Status

  • Earnings and Deductions



Resolution

Two Options:

Use the Exclude Deductions option on the Move to Payroll from Time Entry.

  1. Once the Batch is in Time Entry and has been released or verified, click Move in the menu.

  2. On the Post Time Entry to Payroll Screen choose Define in the menu and click Exclude Deductions.

  3. Click Update, and add the ranges of deductions to be excluded. Click Accept. Click Return.

  4. Define other necessary fields on Post Time Entry to Payroll Screen. Click Accept.

  5. Click Execute in the Menu.

  6. The defined excluded deductions will not appear in Earnings and Deductions in the Payroll.

**Note - this setting will be the default for the Generate Earnings and Deductions screen the next time the Miscellaneous run type is used. You can go into that step after the Time Entry move is complete and remove the excluded deductions.**

Use the Global Purge option from within Earnings and Deductions

  1. From within Earnings and Deductions, click on Global in the Menu. Click Global Access to Deduction Records. Click Global in the Menu again.

  2. Select Purge deduction records from current payroll. Click Define and enter the deduction ranges. Click Accept. Click Process.

  3. This will remove any instance of the defined deductions from Earnings and Deductions.

  4. If you accidentally remove a deduction that shouldn't have been removed, go back into Global in the Menu, then click Global Access to Deduction Records then click Global in the Menu again.

  5. Select Add deduction records to current payroll. This will add the defined deduction(s) to any employees who have the deduction linked to their Employee Deduction record.
