Step 3. Set Up Your Deductions and/or Contributions Cycles (Mandatory)...Continued

How do I get there, and what does the screen look like?

The screen allows you to create cycles of deductions and contributions as you wish to have them applied to your payroll. It is organized into a table of vertical columns and horizontal rows.

Once you set up your employees with the permanent values that belong to them for particular deductions and/or contributions and you select a cycle for a payroll run that includes that item, the amount (or calculated amount) will be taken for that employee.

Using the screen below as an example, if a number of your employees have a permanent Donation deduction and you selected Cycle 1 on our first payroll run of the month, Powerpay would automatically deduct the Donation deduction for these employees. Deductions/contributions can also be overridden at the employee-level if required. Refer to the Deductions and Contributions Screen.
