Copy Deduction Codes

When you set up deduction codes, you can use the Copy To dialog box to copy the deduction codes to groups of employees. The Copy Deduction Codes function copies the selected deduction code to the valid deduction codes list for the employee(s) and selection criteria you specify.

On the Deductions tab on the Deductions/Employer Costs maintenance screen, click the Copy To button on the toolbar to open the Copy Deduction Codes dialog box.

1. Select the range of Employee IDs to copy the selected deduction code to. Leave the From and Thru blank to copy the deduction code to all employees.

   Y - Deduct the dollar amount in the Amount field for this pay period.

   P - Deduct the percentage of pay in the Amount field for this pay period.
