In Accounting CS, you can link Payroll Agent vendors to deduction and employer contribution items. These vendors receive the liability amounts for any non-tax item that is paid via the payroll. For example, you can link a child support payroll agent vendor to the child support deduction item to collect the liabilities and pay the liabilities when they are due.

Before you can use Payroll Agents, there are a number of setup and processing steps that you must complete. We recommend that you complete them in the order listed below.

Setup procedures

Vendor setup
