Hi,
There are a few options for you depending on what your need is.
If you want to track the arrears in GP, you can mark the Allow Arrears box in the Employee card for the deduction. Go to HR & Payroll >> Cards >> Payroll >> Deduction you can mark Allow Arrears. If you check this box, the system will enable tracking of amounts in arrears for this deduction. It does not mean the system will try to withhold the arrear amounts, but it does enable you to track the amounts in arrears in a window designed specifically for this purpose.
If you want to not withhold the deduction at all and no tracking of arrears, you would Inactive or zero out the amount on the employee deduction card. HR & Payroll >> Cards >> Payroll >> Deduction.
Another option is having a deduction taken out randomly you could use the Transaction Required function. HR & Payroll >> Cards >> Payroll >> Deduction. Mark the Transaction Required option if the dollar amount or percentage of the deduction varies each time it's calculated.
If you mark the deduction as Transaction Required, you must enter a transaction for the amount or percentage of the deduction for each pay run that the deduction is taken.
If you decide you want to change the deduction back so it is calculated in every payroll automatically, you would just need to unmark the Transaction Required box.
I hope this helps.
