Edit or Remove Payroll Deductions

Payroll administrators can update or remove deductions from a person’s profile when changes are needed. This article explains how to adjust deduction types and amounts and how to unassign a deduction entirely. 

When Changes Apply

Updates to deductions apply to payroll based on when the change is made:

• Before running payroll: Changes made before a pay run is started will be included in the next pay run.
• During a pay run: If payroll is already in progress, deduction changes will apply to the next pay run. To apply changes to the current pay run, delete the pay run, make the updates, and restart it.
• After submitting payroll: If the pay run has already been submitted, contact us to request changes.

Editing a Deduction

You can adjust the deduction type to one of the following:

• Percentage of gross pay: Total earning before taxes and deductions.
• Percentage of gross taxable pay: Earnings subject to taxes, excluding untaxable earnings.
• Fixed amount: A set dollar amount.

You can also adjust the deduction amount (up to the hundredths place). To change the deduction frequency, reach out to us using the Contact Us link in the deduction section.
