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:

1) For an extended period of time, the employee is on leave and does not have any cost item to cover the mandatory deduction.

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.
