  • Deduction Type: Select “Fixed”, “Amortized” or “Unpaid days” as the deduction type
    • Fixed: Use this for deductions which are not repayments such as employee lateness deduction
    • Amortized: Use this for deductions which have a reducing balance based on payments made such as loans
    • Unpaid Days: Use this for deductions based on number of days. The system will automatically prorate the relevant employee’s salary based on the start and end days for the unpaid days.
  • Existing Deduction: Select “Yes” if you are creating a deduction which already exist and deductions have already been taken but just now being entered into the system otherwise select “No”. Selecting “Yes” allows the user to provide the start and end dates for the amortised loan then have the system work out the unamortised balance.
