Deductions

You set up deductions in Settings > Payroll and on each person’s profile, and they show up on every pay run. Company Admins and HR Admins can work with them once payroll is set up. Owners can also manage Benefits deductions in settings.

​

In a pay run

While you adjust a pay run, its Deductions tab lists each employee’s Employee deductions and Company contributions. Contractors and people excluded from the run aren’t listed. Select a person to see each line under Employee Deductions and Company Contributions. You can’t change amounts on this tab. To change what’s deducted, edit the deduction itself.

​

Benefits deductions

Settings > Payroll > Benefits deductions lists your company’s benefit deductions with their Name, Amount by, Start date and End date. Select Add new to set one up:

• Choose the Benefit plan type. For a 401(k), also Select benefit vendor.
• Enter the Benefit plan name, Start Date and End Date.
• For plans with a fixed amount, choose the Benefit Period: whether you enter amounts for each employee by month or by pay period.
• For a 401(k), answer Contribution Match. If the company matches, set the Company match and the Percentage of the employee salary it applies to.
• Optionally set an Annual company contribution limit.

Select a deduction to edit it.

​

Deductions for one person

From a person’s profile in People, you can add deductions that apply only to them. Post-tax deduction types cover garnishments and similar orders, such as Child support, Alimony, Student loan, Federal tax levy and Creditor garnishment. You can also add an optional Amount total, end date, minimum salary, case number and agency details. Choose Edit in the row’s menu to change one later. Post-tax deductions can only be added once a person has finished onboarding, and not after they’ve been terminated.
