• Copy automatic deductions into Deductions per Period
• Validate Minimum Salary.  If the sum of the Cost Item Corrected Amount or Calculated Amount, from Cost Items per Period, as applicable, for each Cost Item marked as Is Basic Salary, is less than the Minimum Salary specified under Automatic Deductions , the Period Deduction Calculated Amount is set to zero (0), under Deductions Per Period.
• Calculate the amounts of the deductions based on other deductions. 

The deductions have to be calculated in the order of sequence, specified under Deductions . This step includes the calculation of Period DeductionsCalculated Amount based on other deductions previously calculated, with a smaller sequence order, less any exemption specified under Deductions per Period.

There are 4 reasons why transactions go in arrears:

2) For a specific pay period, the employee does not have sufficient cost items to cover the mandatory deduction.

3) The calculated deductions that affect the pay have a greater value than the maximum allowed.

4) The employee is paying back the arrears through automatic deductions.

All transactions in Arrears will be included in the Arrears form.
