How do I set up payroll attachments?

Summary

This article explains how to setup payroll attachments.

More Information

Attachment orders are issued by HMRC to employers notifying them to deduct amounts from an employee's wages to pay certain types of debt. An example of this is student loans.

Deductions from employees pay due to attachment orders and student loans are made by specifying the agency concerned.

Before a particular agency is available for use please check they have been assigned a slot in " Payroll Maintenance Options Payroll Settings Company Parameters Period Adjustments". See How do I Set Up Payroll Adjustments? for further instructions.

Applying attachments for an employee must be done prior to closing a payroll period following this article.

Other additions or deductions from pay e.g. bonuses, expenses etc should be entered as adjustments rather than an attachments. See this article to create the adjustment headings. The values can then be entered in your " Run Payroll" screen or you may specify regular fixed amounts on the employees record (see this article.
