I am trying to have a deduction taken from all pay codes (even holiday & vacation). Even though I have all pay codes selected, the deduction won't take place on the holiday & vacation pay. I even tried picking the pay codes manually (selecting holiday & vacation) but the deduction still doesn't happen.

Yes. It is setup per unit because it’s based on the number of hours paid. So is there a way to have a deduction taken on vacation or holiday pay based on hours paid? If a person takes 8 hours of vacation, I need a $0.40 deduction made.
Oh, I bet you have it set as amount per unit do you? If so, the amount per unit will only calculate on the following:
Amount per Unit Calculates the deduction based upon units using piecework, hourly, double time or overtime pay.
What I’m doing is having a union deduction of $0.05/hour. It needs to be deducted on all pay codes, including vacation & holiday. When I process the checks, it deducts from the straight time, double time, etc. but won’t deduct on the holiday or vacation in the same run. The deduction has “all pay codes” selected. It’s only pay codes labeled as vacation or holiday thst I have the issue with.
Here is a good list of things to check when a deduction is not being taken.
If it works for one pay code and not the other, is everything taxed the same, it should be, see #12
1. The deduction was marked as Transaction Required in the Employee Deduction Maintenance window (Cards | Payroll | Deduction. If this is the case, a transaction must be entered for the deduction in the Payroll Transaction Entry window, or the Transaction Required field can be unmarked.
2. The date in the Start Date field in the Employee Deduction Maintenance window has not been reached.
3. The deduction was not based on a Pay Code that is being included on this check run. The deduction will show on the Build Check and Calculate Check reports, but the Calculate Check report will show the amount as $0.
4. You may not be including the deductions in the Build Payroll Checks window. (Transactions | Payroll | Build Checks). This would only apply if the deduction is not marked as Transaction Required.
5. If you have a minimum net pay amount set up for the employee, (Cards | Payroll | Employee | Additional Information button) and the deductions brings the net pay below the minimum net pay, the deductions that are sequenced last will not be taken.
6. If you have set the deduction up as a tiered deduction and in the deduction amount field you have $0.00 entered, the deduction will not be taken.
7. The date in the End Date field in the Employee Deduction Maintenance window falls before the beginning date of the pay run the deduction would not be included.
8. If you have reached any of the maximums entered in the Employee Deduction Maintenance window, the deduction would not be taken.
9. If the deduction brings the pay to a negative amount it will not be taken.
10. If the deduction is inactive it will not be taken.
11. If the Employee has a Minimum Net Pay set, the deduction will not be taken if it causes the net pay to fall below this amount. Click on Cards , point to Payroll , and click on Employee Card . Enter the Employee ID . Click on the Additional Information tab, and review the Minimum Net Pay field.
12. Check to see if the tax settings are mismatched between the deduction and the pay codes for the Employee. For example, if the deduction is set to be TSA sheltered from FICA taxes, but the employee does not have any pay codes that are subject to having FICA taxes taken on them, then the deduction will not be taken. Review for Federal Tax, FICA Tax, State Tax and Local Tax settings between the deduction and the employee's pay codes used in the pay run.
13. Are they using any of Integrity Data’s products where you join two deductions together for 1 maximum? Usually this is for a 401K.
Hope this leads you to a solution.
