One Time Deduction (PR39.1)

Use One Time Deduction (PR39.1) to define, maintain, delete, or view employee totals for one time deductions. To define or maintain one time deductions, select a company in the Company field. To delete or view totals for one time deductions, select a company in the Company field and an employee in the Employee field at the top of the form.

A one-time deduction is a deduction that is not taken on a regular basis for an employee. An arrears deduction is a one time deduction the Payroll system creates if an employee does not have enough net pay to cover deductions.

Processing Effect

The Payroll system processes all one time deductions, except garnishments, after it processes standard deductions. The system processes one-time garnishment deductions that are not refunds along with the standard garnishment deductions. The system processes all one time deductions according to their category and priority number, which you define on PR05.1 (Deduction).

An employee must have a Current time record for a one-time deduction to be taken. You can create arrears one time deductions for employees without time records with PR139 (Arrears Automation).

More Information

If you want to create arrears deductions for employees who will not receive net pay, use PR139 (Arrears Automation).

You assign one-time deductions either a Future status or Current status. The Payroll system uses parameters defined in PR38.1 (Time Card Selection) and PR137 (Batch Time Record Update) to change Future status one-time deductions to Current status. One time deductions with a Current status can be processed by PR140 (Earnings and Deductions Calculation) during the next payroll cycle.
