Depreciation of Child Support, Garnishment and Tax Levy Deductions – Released 6/4/2020

Namely is deprecating the ability to create a number of company-level deductions, after the release of enhanced deduction types for Child Support, Garnishments, and Tax Levies.

Overview

Earlier this year, we released new Continuing deduction types for child support, garnishments and tax levies that support cap maximums that respect the dollar amount you set across calendar years. Those new deduction types are:

  • Continuing Child Support (Post-tax)

  • Continuing Garnishment (Post-tax)

  • Continuing Tax Levy (Post-tax)

 These new deduction types provide the all of the functionality of their non-continuing counterparts with a key enhancement, so we will be deprecating the ability to create these non-continuing deductions as of June 4, 2020:

  • Child Support

  • Garnishment

  • Tax Levy

For more details on the Continuing deduction types, read Continuing Deduction Caps.

Please note:

  • Any existing company and employee-level Child Support, Garnishment and Tax Levy deductions in use will not be impacted by this update. You may continue to use any deductions that are presently set up.

  • You can still assign existing company-level Child Support, Garnishment and Tax Levy deductions to employees.

  • Any new company level deductions for child support, tax levies or garnishments must be created using the new Continuing deduction types.
