Excluding Deductions from Pay Types
How do I permanently set up a deduction to be excluded from a pay type?
Purpose: This guide will walk payroll admins and users with SSO access to TRAXPayroll through the process of setting up deductions so that they are not calculated on or withheld from certain pay types. A common example would be if your company offers bonuses and has a policy where you should not withhold 401k deductions from bonus amounts.
