Select garnishment type - Support

Make sure to have the garnishment order in front of you when adding a garnishment in Powerpay. You will need to refer to this document to complete the process.

Dayforce can electronically remit all Ontario support garnishees to the Ontario Family Responsibility Office (FRO). If you would like this feature activated, contact your Customer Support Team to obtain the authorization form that requires your signature. Until this is activated, a cheque will be issued with your payroll and you are responsible to forward it to FRO. Third-party remittances are not available for other garnishment issuers.

1. Click the Pay Period menu and click the Enter button for the pay period you want to work with.

2. Open the Garnishments page. From the Payroll menu, select Garnishments.

3. Select the employee from the list.

4. Click the Add New Garnishment button.

5. Review the document received to determine who issued the order.

6. Select the Garnishment Type based on the garnishment notice. Powerpay may display multiple selections for the same type. Select the lowest numbered option available for the garnishment type.

   Note: If a Support garnishment order contains a requirement for both an ongoing payment and an arrears amount, you need to set up two garnishments. If no other Support garnishments exist, select Support 1 for the ongoing payment and Support 2 for the arrears calculation.

7. Click Next.
