One Time Deduction (OTDED)

The One Time Deduction transaction allows you to generate special "one- time" only deductions. Unlike permanent deductions which are taken from an employee's pay check every pay period, one-time deductions are taken from the employee's pay only once. One-time deductions can be positive or negative: a positive one-time deduction reduces an employee's net pay and a negative one-time deduction increases an employee's net pay. The One Time Deduction Allowed field on the Deduction Plan (DPLN) page determines if a one-time deduction can be taken for the deduction type and plan specified.

The One Time Deduction transaction has the following tabs:

This tab is used to enter header details for a one time deduction, such as Employee ID, and add or replace information in the Add/Replace field.

The Modified On and Modified By field displays the last update time of each record in the table along with the User ID that made the update.
