Summary
The following article explains how to enter and keep track of an employee's child support payments.
 | If you are unsure about child support payments, please refer to the information you will have been provided with by the Child Support Agency (CSA) explaining the rules governing statutory pay or visit the CSA web site here. You will have received a notice from the CSA to start collecting child support payments for an employee. |
More Information
Go to " Payroll Run Payroll Period".
- If you have more than one payment frequency for your employees, enter <Y> against the employee's pay frequency or click the [Down arrow] and select [Yes]. Click the [OK] button to go into the payroll.
- Highlight the relevant employee and press <Ctrl+F7> to take you to the Attachment Order Entry screen.
 | If there are existing attachments for this employee, press <F5> to edit an existing one; if you need to create a new attachment, press <F6> to create a new one. |
- This will take you to a screen asking for the required "Agency".
- Enter 'CSA' for Child Support Agency.
 | If you type 'CSA' in upper case and get a message saying 'Agency Not Found', please see this article. |
- Enter the start and end dates from the paperwork supplied to you by the CSA in the "Start Date" and "End Date".
- In the "Reference" field, enter a description for the Attachment, e.g. 'Child Support - JB', where J and B are the initials of employee.
- On the "Attachment type", enter '01' for 'Amount'.
- If the total amount owed is shown on the CSA paperwork, enter this in the "Total Amount" field.
| Generally the 'Total Amount' is not provided, and a stop notice will be issued to you once the attachment is no longer required. You can therefore leave this field blank. |
- Press <Esc> and [Accept] to complete.
