How to add Current Maintenance Arrestment (Scotland)?

A Current Maintenance Arrestment (Scotland) is a Scottish order used to deduct ongoing maintenance from an employee’s earnings for the person named on the order.

To add Current Maintenance Arrestment (Scotland) for an employee:

Go to Employees and open the employee, or stay on the Salary step while adding an employee.
Under Deductions, click + Add New, or click Deductions on the Salary step.
Select Attachment of Earnings Orders / Arrestments as the deduction type.
Select Current Maintenance Arrestment (Scotland) as the attachment.
Enter the order details, such as the Order Number, Issued on date, Amount (fixed amount or percentage where shown), Protected Earnings if applicable, whether to deduct the admin charge, and when the order ends.
Click Save.

Protected earnings is the amount of pay the employee must be left with after the deduction. If the deduction is reduced to the protected earnings rate, any shortfall can carry forward to the next pay period. For a worked example, refer to protected earnings in Add Employees.
