Scheduling 'One-Time' Deductions Imports

To use the Scheduled Deductions file import, you must have a tab-delimited text file with the columns shown in Table 82. If you have a row with invalid information (such as a header row), the system automatically displays a warning message and does not import the content.

Table 82: Scheduled Deductions Import Fields

Column #	Field Description	Required?	Format	Description
1	Employee ID	Yes	N#####	Must be the ID of an employee that works for the client and belongs to a pay group included in the payroll batch; it can be a terminated employee. You can enter more than one line for an individual employee, if needed.
2	Deduction Code	Yes		Must be a deduction code defined with a Calculation Method of Fixed Calculation at the system level.
3	Rate	Yes		Total amount to deduct from the employee’s pay.
4	Stop Date	No	MM/DD/YY	Date on which to stop taking the deduction.

Note:  The decimal place in the Amount column is optional. If there are more than three decimal places, the system rounds it to two.

Note:  If you create the file in a program such as Excel, you must save it as a tab-delimited TXT file.
