Record a Withholding Order (FRA)

Record a Withholding Order (FRA)

  • Create a deduction recipient.
  • Security:
    Worker Data: Payroll (Withholding Orders) - FRA
     domain in the FRA Payroll functional area.
You can record withholding order details such as:
  • Order type.
  • Total balance amount or monthly due amount.
  • Number of dependents.
Workday calculates the amount to withhold for a pay period, taking into account:
  • Workers' disposable earnings.
  • Legal brackets and minimum welfare allowance (RSA).
  • Order balance.
  • Number of dependents.
  1. Access the
    Record FRA Withholding Order for Worker
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Order Date
    Workday uses this date to determine the order in which Workday processes orders with the same priority.
    Begin Date
    Workday makes the initial withholding deduction in the pay period that includes the
    Begin Date
    . The
    Begin Date
     must be on or after the
    Order Date
    .
    Workday doesn’t prorate withholding amounts based on the order begin date or end date.
    End Date
    Workday deducts the final withholding amount in the pay period before the one with the
    End Date
    .
    Workday stops processing a withholding order as soon as the balance is zero, regardless of the
    End Date
    .
For employees with multiple orders, Workday assigns a processing priority to each order based on legal regulations.
You can view a worker's withholding orders (active and historical) using the
Withholding Orders for Worker
report.
You can use the
View Available Withholding Orders for a Group of Workers
 report to view:
  • All active withholding orders for a group of workers.
  • All inactive orders that are completed during the current pay period in progress.
After completing payroll:
  • View updated order balances in the
    Order Updates
     section of debt, and administrative seizure orders.
  • Access the
    Withholding Order Payments
     report to view all withholding orders calculated during the pay period for a company. Use the withheld amount and the deduction recipient's banking information on the report to prepare external payments.
