Fields & buttons
Displays the description of the selected deduction item.
Displays the method of calculation for the selected deduction item (as specified on the Calculation tab of the Setup > System Configuration > Deduction Items dialog).
This selection can be modified, but the selections are limited to either the pre-tax or after-tax category specified for the deduction item at the global level (in the Calculations tab of the Deductions dialog).
The pre-tax category consists of Fixed Amount, Gross Income Percentage, and Hourly Amount.
The after-tax category consists of After-tax Income Percentage and Net Income Percentage.
Note: After-the-fact payroll clients - If this is a CBS client, overriding the calculation method for the deduction will cause an error message to display stating that the calculation method for this deduction must match the method set up in the Setup > System Configuration > Deduction items dialog.
This field is accessible only if the selected calculation method for this deduction item is Fixed Amount or Hourly Amount.
Enter the deduction amount appropriate for the selected employee.
This field is accessible only if the selected calculation method for this deduction item is After-tax Income Percentage, Gross Income Percentage, or Net Income Percentage.

If the calculation method is Hourly Amount, you may mark this checkbox to include overtime hours in the calculation for this deduction item.
If the calculation method is Hourly Amount, you may mark this checkbox to include double-time hours in the calculation for this deduction item.
Mark this checkbox to have the application 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 application first calculates Deduction 1 as a percentage of Gross Pay. Then the application 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 application 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.
