When to take general deduction

There are so many dates in peoplesoft that it is difficult to understand the relationship between all those dates.

For e.g. when does P/S take general deductions configured for en employee?

This depends on the following:

1. effective date of the general deduction record setup.
2. whether the general deduction has a deduction end dt ornot.
3. pay end dt of the pay calendar for which the employee isbeing paid.

Payrollprocess compares only the following dates

1. Pay end dt on the Pay calendar.
2. Effdt on the general deduction table.
3.deduction end date on the generaldeduction table is it is populated.

Itlooks for a gen deduction table maexeffdtd row less than or equal to the pay end dt.
If the row does not have a deduciton end dt or the deduction end dt falls after or on the pay end dt,it takes the general deduction.Deduction is not prorated.

Other dates like pay period begin date and check date do not matter.


However, it is worth mentioning that if an employee is terminated during a pay period ( a job row wiht effdt ( and action which terminates the employee ) between the pay begin date and pay end dt , then based on whether the dedcd has been setup to stop deduction when employee is terminated, the deduction is stopped or taken.
