I never removed a garnishment from an employees profile and at the beginning of the year, it started to deduct when it was completely paid for. How can I reimburse him for these deductions?

Hi @cbdevelopers123.

 

Welcome to the Community. Thanks for reaching out for help with getting your employee reimbursed. I can definitely help. 

 

Since most garnishments are deducted after payroll taxes have been calculated, you'll want to create a non-taxable reimbursement item. Once you've 

created the reimbursement, you'll add it to the employee's profile, here's how:

 

  1. From Employees on the menu bar, choose Employee Center.
  2. Double-click the employee's name.
  3. Go to the Payroll Info tab.
  4. Add the item from the drop-down list under Additions, Deductions, and Company Contributions.

Additionally, if you haven't done so already, you'll want to remove the garnishment from the employee's profile: Edit payroll items used on paychecks 

 

 

Feel free to circle back with any additional questions about reimbursements or anything else. I'll be here to help!
