Deduction Groups

The Deduction Groups form is used to group several deduction types into a template or group that can be used to quickly assign multiple deductions to an employee.  In the Employees form under the Deduction tab you can choose a deduction group from the Group combo box.  The employees deductions area would quickly fill in with all the deductions that were setup in the Deduction Groups form.  Then of course, you could edit each individual deduction or even add new ones.

This form is completely optional but comes in very handy if you have hundreds of employees all with several common deductions.  You can add, edit or delete deduction groups as needed using this form.  For a detailed explanation of all the fields on this form, refer to Adding Deduction Groups.

An example of a deduction group might include common employee deductions like union dues, health insurance or 401(k).

Within the Deduction Group form you can select, which taxes will be tax exempt for a specific deduction.  It is also very important to select the appropriate Liability Account ID from the Chart of Accounts for each of the deduction groups.
