Withholding Order Deductions Calculation
Based on state and federal rules, Workday:

- Determines the applicable protected earnings.
- Applies the withholding limit to protected earnings.
- Sets the withholding order priority.
- Follows statutory rules to determine what to withhold for each order when:
- A worker has multiple orders.
- The amount to withhold exceeds the protected earnings amount.
Workday applies the applicable legislation to withholding orders. The applicable legislation manages these criteria:
- Protected earnings.
- Maximum amount to withhold.
- Deduction of a single or multiple orders in a single pay run.
You can view the details for each withholding order type and applicable legislation in the
