How to add Income Support Deduction - Claims and Payments?

An Income Support Deduction - Claims and Payments order requires you to deduct money from an employee’s earnings towards income support amounts under the claims and payments rules.

To add Income Support Deduction - Claims and Payments 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 Income Support Deduction - Claims and Payments 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.
