Overview
Deduction Types are used to group related deductions.
Example: Deduction Types could be based on the underlying reasons for the deductions (i.e., Insurance, Garnishments, Savings, Union Dues, Child Support, etc.). When creating a batch of checks in the Check Processing Wizard, you may select the Deduction Types to include in the batch (i.e., calculate paychecks using just the Other Deductions grouped under the Deduction Type of Insurance).
When adding a new Other Deduction Code, the system displays the default Deduction Type selected here (if one was selected).
You can access the Deduction Types add/edit list from the PAY: Other Deduction Codes and the PAY: Employee Master File Other Comps / Deducts screen.
