If the calculation method is Hourly Amount, you can mark this checkbox to include overtime hours in the calculation for this deduction item.
If the calculation method is Hourly Amount, you can mark this checkbox to include double-time hours in the calculation for this deduction item.
Mark this checkbox if you wish to have the program subtract the deductions in the order in which they appear in the Tax Withholdings & Deduction Items grid. This checkbox is applicable only if two or more deductions are marked as sequential. The first is deducted before the second is calculated, and so forth.
Example 1
- Deduction 1 (Gross Income Percentage)
- Deduction 2 (Gross Income Percentage)
If both are marked as sequential deductions, the program first calculates Deduction 1 as a percentage of Gross Pay. Then the program calculates Deduction 2 as a percentage of the value of Gross Pay minus Deduction 1.
If these items are not marked as sequential deductions, the program calculates each of them as a percentage of the original Gross Pay amount.
Example 2
- Deduction 1 (Fixed Amount)
- Deduction 2 (Gross Income Percentage)
Example 3
- Deduction 1 (After-tax Income Percentage)
- Deduction 2 (After-tax Income Percentage)
Please note that sequential deduction would not be appropriate for the following example: Fixed Amount deduction followed by an After-tax Income Percentage deduction.
