All of our wage garnishments got reset after we closed the payroll year so our first payroll checks had garnishments taken out that shouldn't have been withheld.
Suggestions:
-Automatically deactivate deductions that hit the limit
-Create new deduction that carries a balance/adjusts maximum when closing payroll year
-At the very least, a question dialog when closing/archiving payroll would be nice for calculations like garnishments (or user-added calculations at least)
This is expensive software that requires a lot of hand-holding in order to function well. Shouldn't some of these things be automated?

When a garnishment has been met, you should flag it as inactive by putting a No in the active column on the employee record. Do not rely on the maximum being the only reason it stops deducting.
