Sometimes, you may have an employee who has a deduction to set up that will need to be a percentage of the employee’s net check (for example, IRS Garnishment).

1. Set up a company detail code for the garnishment with a calculation method of P.  
   1. Note that all Subject To: taxes are None, and all other tax/accrual deductions have been unselected.  
   2. Also, the expense account can be transferred to the regular A/P or third-party payable account. Set the Coding option to F to define a specific vendor at the employee level.
   3. You will need to mark Construct base using Amount and select all earnings, deductions, and taxes that need to be used for calculations.
      
2. Add the detail code to the employee level.  
   1. Add any information that needs to be printed on the check stub under the A/P Stub Desc area, as well as the % that needs to be deducted.  
   2. Also will need to add the Sub-Account.
      
   3. Start the payroll cycle as normal. With these settings, this employee’s net check will be calculated based on these options. His earnings were $1,350, and 10% was set to be deducted from his check. But since his net is being used, this is the amount that will be deducted.
