Modifying & Removing a Deduction Category from an Employee
| Action | Procedure |
| Modify | You can change the amount of an existing Deduction category if it is not setup as V-Variable. This amount is entered when you calculate the employee’s pay on the Calculate Pay screen.
|
| Remove | You can remove a Deduction category from an employee as long as the employee doesn’t have any paychecks associated with it. The only time to remove a Deduction category from an employee is after you have started a new year, but before you have created a payroll in the new year. To stop the category from being applied mid-year, simply modify the amount/rate to zero in the Employee set up.
