Setting Up Deduction Plans

The Deduction Plan (DPLN) reference page defines variations of each deduction type and contains processing information on amounts and percentages, deduction frequency, whether the standard deduction amount or rate may be overridden on an employee basis, and whether a special deduction routine should be performed to calculate the deduction.  

To set up deduction plan access the Deduction Plan page and perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Deduction Plan reference page and select the Create button.

2. Enter the required information in all the sections of the page.

3. In the Special Routine ID tab, enter the proper code in Special Routine ID if a special calculation routine is invoked for this deduction type/plan.  If no special calculation routine is to be invoked enter NON for the Special Routine ID.  For more information on Special Routines, refer to the Special Deduction Routines topic.

4. Select Save to save the record in the system.

5. Select Save & Close to save and exit the Deduction Plan page.
