Hello, shannonlogan444.

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community for support. I'd be happy to help!

 

 QuickBooks provides the option to add a wage garnishment to employees. However, this is applied to the gross amount. You also have the option to add a flat rate. Here are a few steps to show you how to proceed.

 

1. From the left menu, open "Payroll" and then "Employees".
2. Select the employee name
3. Click "Edit" to the right of "Deductions & contributions"
4. Hit "+Add deduction/contribution"
5. Select "Deduction/contribution"
6. Enter a "Description". This is the deduction name that appears on pay cheques
7. To add a new deduction, select a "Deduction/contribution type" and "Type"
8. Choose whether you want the deduction to be calculated as a "Flat amount" or "Percentage" of gross pay. Then enter the "Amount" or "Percentage". Do the same for the Company-paid contribution as applicable.
9. Select "Save", then "Done".
