Assign a reducing balance deduction to an employee

Before you can start using the reducing balance deduction on an employee's timesheet, you must enter the total balance of the deduction itself within the relevant employee's record.

1. On the menu bar, click Processing then click Employee Details.
2. Next to the Surname box, click browse and click the relevant employee.
3. Click the Deductions tab.
4. Locate the relevant deduction and enter the following information:

   Std. E'e Amt	Enter the amount you want to deduct from the employee each pay period.
   Balance E'e	Enter the overall total value of the deduction.

5. Click Save.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for each employee you want to assign the reducing balance deduction to, then click Cancel.

You've now assigned a reducing balance deduction to this employee. In each subsequent pay period, when you process the employee's pay details, the deduction balance gradually reduces. When it reaches zero, the deduction stops automatically.
