Deduction cycles

A deduction cycle identifies a combination of deductions to be taken from a payment. When you define a deduction code in Payroll, you assign it to the deduction cycles it belongs in. You can also override the deduction cycle when you assign deductions to employees.

You assign benefits deductions to deduction cycles when you create a benefits frequency table in the Benefits Administration application. See the Infor Benefits Administration User Guide for more information.

You can define up to nine unique deduction cycles. When you assign a deduction code to a deduction cycle, you designate one of the following:

If applicable taxable wages are updated and the deduction is taken
If applicable taxable wages are updated only

When you process the payroll cycle, you designate which deduction cycle Payroll uses to process deductions.

Example

Two Rivers uses the first deduction cycle for processing all weekly payroll cycles. The second and third deduction cycles are for two semi-monthly payrolls. Semi monthly employees use different deduction cycles during the payroll cycle, so certain deductions will only be deducted monthly (HLTH on the first paycheck and LOAN and UWAY on the second paycheck) Deduction cycle four is for sales commission and bonus pay cycles. Two Rivers uses deduction cycle nine for year-end updates of taxable wages. The remaining cycles are reserved for future use.
