Using Deduction Groups & Employee Groups

Use deduction groups and employee groups to speed the process of assigning deductions to employees.

• A single deduction can be assigned to more than one deduction group.

• Employee groups can be linked to more than one deduction group.

• When an employee is linked to an employee group, the deductions in the linked deduction groups are automatically assigned to the employee.

• An employee can be linked to only one employee group.

Set up deduction groups & employee groups

1. Payroll Configuration > Fund menu > Edit Deduction Groups: Create group definitions.

2. Manage Deductions: While creating a deduction/benefit, select the Deduction Group from the list.

3. HR Configuration > Employee Groups tab: Create employee group definitions, and select one or more deduction groups for each employee group.

4. Manage Employees: Add new employee, and select an employee group.

5. Deduction Assignment: Select a new employee.

   • If the employee is part of an Employee Group that has been linked to a Deduction Group, the group will be displayed in the Deduction Group field, and the employee will automatically receive the deductions in the assigned Deduction Group.

   • If the employee is not part of an Employee Group linked to a Deduction Group, select the Deduction Group. All the deductions in the selected group will be assigned to the employee.
