Creating a Gross-to-Net Payment Model for a Hypothetical Employee

Create a payment model for a hypothetical employee. For a Gross-to-Net payment model, you will select a gross amount and apply deductions. Payroll calculates the gross amount to a lower net amount.

Select the Employee tab. Use the following guidelines to enter field values:

Note: If an employee is taxed in multiple states, Payroll uses the resident state in the calculation.
On the Taxes tab, define the federal and state tax requirements.
On the Deductions tab, define the deductions. Select deductions by typing X in the appropriate fields. For non-tax deductions, enter A (Amount) or P (Percent), and enter the dollar amount of the deduction.
