The deducted amount for a benefit is wrong.

Where the employee has one or more effective Employee Deductions Detail records for a benefit and also has an effective Employee Benefit Detail for the same benefit, the Employee Benefits Detail overrides and replaces the deduction amounts.

Solution:  To correct, define the correct annual benefit costs on the Employee Benefits Detail and de-select the checkbox to allow the system to automatically update that employee's benefit costs. Alternatively, correct the benefit costs on the code-level Benefit Cost Codes Table and associated cost bands, if any.

If the difference is noticed after the payroll is posted, complete a payroll adjustment on the next payroll or through a separate payroll.

I entered a deduction during time entry, and it doubled. I saw it after gross-to-net and before posting.

Where a current deduction is defined in an Employee Deductions Detail record and also is entered for the employee's pay entry information, the deduction doubles because it has been recorded twice.

Solution:  Avoid entering a deduction through pay entry that is already defined for automatic payroll processing under normal circumstances.

For a payroll in gross-to-net status, reset the payroll. Return to pay entry and delete the "doubled deduction" from the pay entry record and save. Re-process the payroll.
