30Our payroll group has been tracking pre-tax health deductions manually for a while now. They keep up with every employee and whether that employee had a paycheck that week and then update this deduction to increase or decrease the amount accordingly.
Currently the deduction type is set to "Pension" because it is a pre-tax deduction.
Example: Week 1 employee was paid $500.00, with a health insurance deduction of $50.00
Week 2 the employee did not work therefore had a $0.00 check but still owes a $50.00 health insurance deduction.
Week 3 the employee was paid $500.00, with a health insurance deduction of $100.00 ($50.00 for current week and $50.00 for previous week)
Week 4 the employee was paid $500.00, with a health insurance deduction of $50.00 (normal rate)
With the number of employees we have I feel like it would be more beneficial to have them let the system do this autmatically with the use of arrearages. It seems simple enough with a simple check box to allow arrearages however it is not working correctly so I came here to pose the question of;
1. Can arrearages only be applied to certain deduction types (i.e. garnishments)?
2. If the arrearage can be applied to any deduction type what else could we be missing with setting this up to work correctly?
