Overview
The Deduction Per Period screen holds details of each deduction applicable to an employee for a pay period. The period deductions are used to produce the payroll calculation for the employee and to provide a history of all the deductions applicable to the employee in each pay period. These records can be created and modified by authorized users to accommodate for one-time deductions.
When the payroll calculation is executed, the employee's automatic deductions are copied to the Deduction Per Period screen and all the calculations are based on those records.
Once the pay period is closed, all period deductions become available for viewing purposes only and cannot be modified or deleted. They remain in the system in order to provide payroll details.
