FAQ: Court Orders (UK)

How does Workday calculate court orders in subperiods?
When calculating court order deductions for pay periods with multiple gross-to-net calculations, Workday recalculates these results in each subperiod:
  • The court order outstanding balance to include any payments from previous subperiods.
  • Protected earnings and attachable earnings to include any earnings or deductions paid in the previous subperiod.
When a worker has insufficient arrestable earnings for both Earnings Arrestment and Current Maintenance Arrestment deductions, Workday limits the calculated disbursement amount to the available arrestable earnings within a subperiod. If you want to modify the calculated disbursement amount, access the
Add Payroll Input
task and override the deduction amount.
What's the processing order for court orders when running a retro termination?
Stop a worker's court orders on their termination date before you process their retro termination.
