Setting up a deduction | MYOB Enterprise Support

Here's what we'll cover in this support note:

The example we'll use is setting up a payroll deduction for an employee's social club dues.

To set up a deduction pay code

Go to the Maintenance command centre and click Maintain Pay Codes.
Click New.
For the Pay Code Type, select Post-Tax Deduction, and enter a suitable Pay Code and Pay Code Description.
Click OK.
On the General tab, enter the Default Pay Rate for the deduction. In our example this is $4 for Social Club fees, so we'll enter 4.00000.
Select one of the following options:
1. If the default pay rate applies to all employees, select the option This rate is common to all employees.
2. If you want to specify a different deduction rate for some (or all) employees when entering pay details, select the option Allow rate to be modified when entering pay details.
[Optional] To make the deduction part of your bank schedule (so it gets paid when your employees get paid):
1. Click the Other tab and select the option Include in Direct Credit Schedule
2. Enter the applicable bank account details
Click Close.
