I am trying to set up Deduction in Arrears for the first time and I am having Troubles figuring out how it works. I have a employee that will be off for a couple months and he is paying for his deductions with a check and I am trying to have this post so it shows up on his ytd totals. I have read through the Payroll Extentions manual but it doesn't really give step by step instuctions very well. Please Help.
Thanks
Rachel

Probably too late to help, so this answer is for others who made find this question. You complicate it by wanting it on his year-to-date totals.
Normally, you would run Mandatory Arrears to create the arrears. Then when they pay by check, you would just go to Arrears and record the collection.
If the deduction is not tax-sheltered, then you can create a nontaxable paycode or an after-tax deduction (use negative transaction). When they pay you, you would create a transaction to give them their money back on the next paycheck run and those funds will then be used to pay the deduction that is in arrears and it will be on ytd.
If the original deduction is tax-sheltered, you have the problem of creating a negative tax liability which GP doesn't handle correctly. If that is the case, you could continue to add the Arrears each pay and add the payments into a batch that you don't process immediately. Then when they return and are going to receive their first real check, you can include the batch with all of the payments at that time. The only problem here would be if this goes beyond the end of the year. The deductions won't show until you process it.
Hope this helps. This works for us.
