I have a customer that uses Sage 100 Payroll. They have hourly employees that have pay garnishments. The employees are paid weekly.
One of the employees has to pay 50% of the Disposable Wages with a Maximum Limit of $150 per check/week.
Since the employee is hourly, the person may work 40 hours in a week so lets say the Disposable Income is $1,000 which 50% is subject to Garnishments which is $500, but the Maximum Limit per check is $150. It would be nice so they do not have to manually override the $500 to $150 every week.
Other times, the employee may work only 10 hours in a week so the Disposable Income my be $100 and it will calculate $50 ($100 * 50%) which is correct.
Right now, I have them setup as a Deduction Code. The setup is the following:
a. Deduction Type - Standard Deduction
b. Calculation - Percentage of Disposable Wages
c. Standard Amount/Rate - 50%
d. Standard Limit - 0
Unfortunately, I cannot use the Standard Limit since that is the Goal for the employee. The Goal is the total paid for the Year, not by Pay Check. I need Sage to add another field to have a Limit by Check.
This is a very common calculation that is needed for Payroll Garnishments. The Maximum Income Multiplier Field won't work since I cannot enter in a Fixed Number per check for the employee.
