Adding a standard deduction to a worker is a straightforward process.
To add a standard deduction to a worker:
Click Workers then click Payroll Details.
Select Standard Deduction Maintenance and go into Insert Mode, press Ctrl+I keys.
Press the F5 key and find the relevant worker.
In the Deduction Reference field, press the F5 key and select the relevant deduction.
Specify the Order to Deduct. The bigger the number, the later the deduction is taken.
To specify the Date Effective press the F5 key.
Unless required, leave Replace/Add Transactions, Input Basis as default.
Enter the Input amount.
On the Details 2 tab, select Deduct from employee.
📌 Note: The Details 3 tab usually contains the calculated fields based on what the worker has paid previously, so it's not necessary to amend these when adding a new deduction.
Unless advised by payroll, leave the remaining checkboxes as default.
Click Exit.
