How to: add a deduction for an employee

Tags: Payroll, People, Process, Subcontractors

Overview

A post-tax deduction is an amount subtracted from an employee's gross pay after taxes have been calculated and withheld.

Post-tax deductions can only be set up at the employee-level. There are no company-level post-tax deduction setup options.

⚠️ If an employee has multiple post tax deductions and they may potentially not have enough to meet these deduction obligations, you can submit a ticket to Trayd's support team and request a specific order for deduction priority.
