Garnishment Detail Subtask

Use this subtask to break down garnishment withholding amounts by garnishment number instead of deduction code.

You can use the deduction code multiple times for the same type of garnishment without setting up deduction codes for each.

Before you manually add garnishments in this subtask, you must complete the Post Payroll Journal process.

This subtask is available only if the Deduction code on the Deductions subtask is one of the following:

  • SDNTLN: Student Loan Garnishment
  • CDTDBT: Creditor Debt Garnishment
  • FADMWG: Federal Admin Wage Garnishment
  • CDMSUP: Child Medical Support
  • CSGARN: Child Support Garnishment
  • FDTXLY: Federal Tax Levy
  • STTXLY: State Tax Levy
  • ADFEGN: Admin Fee Garnishments

The employee garnishments functionality is tracked by Garnishment ID. The advantage of this is that the same Deduction code can be used more than once as long as the Garnishment ID is different. For example, you can use the Deduction code CHILDS (Child Support) more than once for the same employee. An employee can have two Child Support Garnishment deduction types, and can be set up on the Manage Employee Garnishments screen using the CHILDS Deduction code twice with two different Garnishment ID entries. Note that, if you set up two garnishments with the same deduction code in this subtask, you must go back to the Deductions subtask and adjust the Deduction Amount to equal the amounts in this subtask.

If you add a garnishment in this subtask, the Recalculate button on the main screen is disabled. To recalculate, you must run the Compute Payroll process for this employee.
