I can absolutely help with this addition of a wage garnishment, @patricia41.

 

A few things to know before you get started:

  • If the garnishment varies per paycheck, you can set the amount to zero. You can update the garnishment amount by editing the paycheck once you run payroll.
  • You can only add two garnishments per employee.
  • If an employee has three or more garnishments, the rest can be added as other after tax deduction.

To add a garnishment that is deducted from an employee's disposable income, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to Payroll menu, then Employees.
  2. Choose employee's name.
  3. Select edit ✎ beside Pay.
  4. Choose edit ✎ to add a deduction.
  5. On the drop-down, select Garnishment and Garnishment Type.
  6. Enter the description, amount requested and the maximum percent of disposable income.
  7. Select OK.

There is a ton of really important information to consider for wage garnishments, so I'm attaching a helpful article as you navigate this: Setting up a wage garnishment.

 

I'm here if you have any further questions on getting this set up, just leave a comment below. I hope your Tuesday goes great! Take care.
