    Hi LauraF 

     

    If you were trying to isolate just a single employee using Pay Liabilities the only other way you could do it, assuming the deduction amalgamates all of the employees would be to use a separate deduction category.

     

    This would allow you to keep the weekly deductions separate from the monthly ones and pay them weekly

Hi LauraF 

 

 

The Pay Liabilities window will detect all of the unpaid payroll liability for the nominated period and amalgamated into a single amount. The payment date of the pay determines which period it falls into.

 

If you needed to pay the deduction on a weekly basis rather than a monthly one, you could reduce the date range to include the payment date of that pay. This will detect the amount of deduction to be paid for just that period, allowing you to pay it for that employee for that week

 

As the Pay Liabilities window only reflects unpaid amounts, if you pay a portion of the deduction through the Pay Liabilities window, that amount will no longer display when you run those same dates again

    Thanks for your reply Neil_M 

     

    I still have the same issue if i isolate the dates to a pay day. They amaglamate into a single amount . I have 4 employees with Child Support Deductions each week, only 1 of them needs paying weekly.

        Thanks for that Neil_M . I think this is the way that we will have to go.
