In this step, you determine how deduction arrears are processed in retroactive accounting. During a retroactive run, the same amount is deducted as during the original run for the payroll period, regardless of whether or not the amount has changed retroactively.
For this reason, you must determine how any difference between the old and new deduction amounts is to be processed. It is possible to carry the difference through to the next payroll period, either in full, or only if the amount is positive or negative, or to ignore it completely.
The arrears table is used to carry the differences forward to the next original period, in which they are then processed further.
You determine how deduction wage types are processed by assigning a parameter value to them.
The standard system contains model wage types for deductions.
The following parameters are available for processing deduction wage types during retroactive payroll.
1 Deduct old amount, difference to Arrears table
2 Deduct old amount only positive difference to arrears
3 Deduct old amount, only negative amount to arrears
4 Deduct old amount, ignore difference
During the retroactive run, the same amount is deducted as in the origninal run. The difference between the old and new amount is not carried over.
A deduction is reduced retroactively because a limit has been reached. You want the negative difference to be carried over to the next period.
Value 3 must be assigned to the deduction amount in the field Retroactive accounting.
You do not need to enter garnishment wage types in this field.
