Concept: Withholding Order Priorities (FRA)
Workday automatically applies these processing priorities, which you can override, to
withholding orders:
- 100 - Alimony pension.
- 300 - Administrative seizure.
- 400 - Debt.
Withholding Orders with the Same Priority and Different Order Dates
During payroll processing, Workday uses the order priority to determine which orders to
process first. When 2 withholding orders have the same processing priority, Workday
uses the order date to determine processing priorities.
Anne has 3 withholding orders that all have a begin date of February 15, 2020:
Withholding Order | Amount or Balance (EUR) | Order Date |
|---|---|---|
Alimony pension | 100 per month | February 1, 2020 |
Administrative seizure 1 | 1000 | January 1, 2020 |
Administrative seizure 2 | 500 | February 1, 2020 |
You haven't modified the default withholding order priorities.
In February, Anne has 1000 EUR disposable earnings for withholding orders. Workday calculates
these withholding order payments:
Withholding Order | Withholding Order Amount (EUR) |
|---|---|
Alimony pension | 100 |
Administrative seizure 1 | 900 |
Administrative seizure 2 | 0 |
Withholding Orders with the Same Priority and Order Dates
When 2 orders of the same type have the same order date, Workday distributes the disposable
earnings based on the remaining order balances.
When 1 order has a limit below its allocated disposable amount, Workday distributes the
exceeding disposable amount among the other orders, based on the order balances.
Mark has 4 withholding orders that all have a begin date of February 15, 2020. They also all
have the same order date:
Withholding Order | Amount or Balance (EUR) | Order Date |
|---|---|---|
Alimony pension | 100 per month | February 1, 2020 |
Administrative seizure 1 | 1000 | February 1, 2020 |
Administrative seizure 2 | 500 | February 1, 2020 |
Administrative seizure 3 | 500 | February 1, 2020 |
You haven't modified the default withholding order priorities.
In February, Mark has 1100 EUR disposable earnings for withholding orders. Workday calculates
these withholding order payments:
Withholding Order | Withholding Order Amount (EUR) |
|---|---|
Alimony pension | 100 |
Administrative seizure 1 | 500 |
Administrative seizure 2 | 250 |
Administrative seizure 3 | 250 |
If you add a limit of 400 EUR to Administrative seizure 1, Workday distributes the remaining
100 EUR among Administrative seizure 2 and Administrative seizure 3:
Withholding Order | Withholding Order Amount (EUR) |
|---|---|
Alimony pension | 100 |
Administrative seizure 1 | 400 |
Administrative seizure 2 | 300 |
Administrative seizure 3 | 300 |
