Deductions are amounts taken from the employee’s pay before they receive it. You can take them from an employee’s gross or net pay.
You don't manually set up a PAYE or NI deduction
Payroll supports different deduction types, organised into deduction categories.
When you create a new deduction, you base it on one of these deduction types. This determines whether it’s a net deduction or a gross deduction.
You can create as many deductions as you need. Once done, you can add it to your employees during a pay run.
To see how to do this, read Create a deduction.
There are limitations to editing a deduction, once it's created. If necessary, you can create a new one to replace the incorrectly set up one.
To edit the monetary value of a deduction, you must select the relevant employee when processing the pay run.
You can't edit PAYE and NI. These calculate based on the employee's details and the set up of other payments and deductions.
You can’t delete deductions entirely in Payroll, but you can remove deductions from an employee when you’re processing the pay run.
