How do I set up payroll attachments?
Summary
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. As standard the system has a couple of adjustments set-up which can be assigned to an employee via Attachment Order Entry. There is a maximum of 14 adjustments that can be set-up in the system at any one time.
More Information
Deductions from employees pay due to attachment orders and student loans are made using specific Adjustments (one per agency).
 | Before a particular agency is available for use, the slot to be used must be set up in " Payroll Payroll Parameters Company Parameters Period Adjustments". See here. |
Applying attachments for an employee must be done prior to closing a payroll period. If you have an employee who has a fixed value addition or deduction each period to or from their pay you can set these up on the Employee Adjustments rather than setting up attachments. See here.
