Deductions for sick pay and lateness

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for confirming - if you haven't already, you can create a leave category for the sick pay and then add this when running the payroll by clicking into the employee and selecting Actions > Take leave.

If you're not looking to track this as leave and simply want to make a deduction to the pay, you could create a deduction category instead (Payroll settings > Deduction Categories > Add), which you can then add when running the payroll by selecting Actions > Make a deduction - this will add a deduction line where you can select the appropriate deduction category and enter the amount to deduct. 

Please get back to us below if you have any Q's!

That's really helpful thanks.

Hi Hilary You're welcome, if you need further assistance please let us know and we'd be glad to help you.:thinking_face:

Actually, is there a way to import sickness/deductions - we record it in a separate absence management tool and can export the information.  

Hi Hilary, 

Thanks for getting back to us - unfortunately, it's not possible to import this information, this will need to be entered on the payroll system itself. :) 

No problem, sure I can work round this.  Assume the same is true for overtime - paying extra as an exception.

Hi Hilary,

That's right, it's a similar procedure to above, you can create a pay category for overtime by going to Payroll Settings > Pay categories > Add - here, you can enter the name (how it will appear on the payslip) and the terms. If you want to enter a fixed hourly rate for this, you can do so by going into the individual Employee's settings > Pay rates.

Once you're ready to use this, click into the employee when running the payroll and select Actions > Add earnings > Select the appropriate category on the earnings line.
