Example: Set Up a Deduction to Recoup an Outstanding Balance on Termination (CAN)

This example illustrates how you can set up a deduction that recoups the balance of an outstanding flexible payment and deduction option when you terminate an employee.
Global Modern Services (GMS) enables construction employees in Canada to request loans to purchase protective equipment like safety boots, which they can then repay over multiple pay periods. As a payroll administrator, you want to set up a deduction for equipment loans that recoups its outstanding balance from employees who are terminated during the repayment period.
