Processing Effect
The Payroll system uses the rules on this form to determine what portion of employee pay is exempt from garnishments, how the system calculates fees, and how it handles employees with multiple garnishments. Lawson does not deliver any Canada garnishment rules. You must define all the rules your company uses.
The Payroll system uses the rules you define on this form when you run Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140).
If a garnishment has more than one variable rule, you must enter all the pertinent information for each variable on a separate line. For example, if the garnishment calculation of an employee with 0 dependents differs from the calculation for an employee with one or more dependents, you add a line of formula details for 0 dependents and a line of formula details for one and more dependents.
