Arrears Processing Information

A negative amount is the amount withheld toward the arrearage.  This means that when payroll collects some or all arrears, a negative amount displays in the Arrears processing field.  

A positive amount represents the amount applied to arrears. This is also referred to as amounts that increased the arrears or increased the amount owed in arrears.

If this field is left blank, payroll tries to withhold the entire arrears balance. This maximum amount doesn't include the scheduled deduction amount.

Teh payroll arrears balance represents the actual arrears balance to-date.  Payroll processing increases this balance if the deduction is defined to process in arrears and their are insufficient funds to process it. Payroll processing decreases this balance due to any payment toward the arrearage balance that is processed automatically through payroll.

Arrears

Arrears are normally defined to process automatically for certain deductions and no additional setup is typically necessary. However, if deductions weren't defined as needed so an employee owes arrears for a deduction, complete the following steps.

  1. Locate and edit the relevant Employee Deductions Detail for the employee.
  2. Under the Year column in the Arrears Processing row, in the unlabeled Payroll Arrears Balance field, enter the amount of arrears owed for this benefit.
  3. In the Maximum Amount field (found under the Quarter column), enter the maximum amount of arrears that should be collected per payroll. Do not add in the amount of the standard deduction. This is only to limit the additional amount to be paid toward the arrears balance.
  4. Leave the Arrears Processing field blank. The Arrears Processing field is populated by payroll processing with a negative for any processing that reduces the arrearage and a positive for any payroll processing that increases the arrearage.
  5. Save.

After payroll processing, you will see the results in the Arrears Processing field.
