More Information
When you have been informed by an agency to assign a payroll adjustment to an employee you will need be in the payroll period. " Run Payroll Period".
- Against the employees entry to whom you want to assign a payroll adjustment you will need to press <Ctrl-F7>. This will open the "Attachment Order Amendments" screen.
- On the "Agency :" enter the Agency that issued the Order, or search (<Ctrl-F1>) to search for the agency.
- The "Calculation Order" will automatic be entered from which was set when creating the Payroll Adjustment.
- On the "Start Date :" enter the date at which the attachment take an effect.
- On the "End Date :" enter the end date for this attachment, if applicable.
- On the "Reference :" you can add a reference to the attachment.
- On the "Attachment type:" enter the attachment type for this attachment. The attachment type determines how the amount of the attachment per period will be calculated:
- '01' Amount - The amount will be a fixed specified amount per period.
- '02' Percentage - The amount will be based on a specified percentage of the nett pay due at that point.
- '11' Student Loan - The amount will be calculated using the inland revenue collection of student loans formula.
- On the "Attachment Rate :" enter the rate for this attachment.
- If the attachment type is 'Amount' then this value should be the amount to use per period.
- If the attachment type is 'Percentage' then this value should be the percentage of nett pay to use per period.
- For other attachment types this value is not used.
- On the "Total Amount :" enter the total amount of this attachment, if applicable.
 | If a total amount is set then the attachment will automatically stop when the total of amounts paid reaches the amount specified here. |
- On the "Protected Earnings :" enter the protected earnings status for this attachment. This can be set to:
- 'N'o Protected earnings do not apply to this order.
- 'Y'es The protected earnings amount specified below applies to this order.
- 'I'nherit Used for Student Loans if other attachment orders (with an earlier order of calculation) have a protected earnings amount then that same amount should also apply when the student loan deduction is made, otherwise none.
| Protected earnings specify a minimum value of nett pay. Any deductions from this order will be limited to make sure this employee's nett pay does not fall below the protected earnings amount. |
