The Other garnishment special type enables you to set up a garnishment that isn't directly supported by the application, such as State tax levies.

To set up an employee with an Other special type garnishment and have the application make the appropriate calculations during payroll check entry, follow these steps.

Adding an Other type garnishment item to an employee record

1. In the Setup > Employees > Payroll Items tab, make the Other type garnishment deduction item active for the employee by marking its checkbox in the Deductions grid. If an Other type garnishment deduction item is not listed, contact your Payroll Specialist
2. Click the Ellipsis button for the new deduction item.
3. Enter or select the appropriate information in the Other section of the Main tab of the Employee Payroll Item Settings dialog. Show me.
   
   • Case Identifier. (Required) Enter the case identification number. 
   • Order date. You can enter the date on which the case was issued.  This field is not mandatory, but it is used only to determine the priority of multiple garnishments when needed.
   • Agent. You can use this field to assign a payroll agent to the Other order to use for generating liabilities.
   • Percent or Amount. Specify the percent or the amount that is to be deducted per paycheck.
   • Total Order amount. You can use this field to specify a perpetual limit for the case. If you leave this field at its default $0.00 amount, the application will assume that the garnishment has no limit.
   • Inactive date. Use this field to specify a date on which the garnishment is no longer active.  Payroll checks entered on or after this date will not include this garnishment. Note that the date you enter here must fall on or after the date in the Order date field.
4. Save the employee payroll item information.
