PR46.2 - Canada Garnishment Rules

**Form Purpose
Use Canada Garnishment Rules (PR46.2) to define and maintain the rules the
Payroll  application uses to calculate garnishments for a specific Canadian
entity (provincial, federal, and so on).

**Process at a Glance

1. On Canadian Garnishment Types (PR46.1), define any garnishment types not
provided by Lawson.

2. Define garnishment rules using this form.

3. Define employee garnishments using Canadian Employee Garnishment (PR47.1).

**Processing Effect
The Payroll system uses the rules on this form to determine what portion of
employee pay is exempt from garnishments, how the system calculates fees, and
how it handles employees with multiple garnishments. Lawson does not deliver
any Canada garnishment rules. You must define all the rules your company uses.

The Payroll system uses the rules you define on this form when you run
Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140).

If a garnishment has more than one variable rule, you must enter all the
pertinent information for each variable on a separate line. For example, if
the garnishment calculation of an employee with 0 dependents differs from the
calculation for an employee with one or more dependents, you add a line of
formula details for 0 dependents and a line of formula details for one and
more dependents.

**More Information
Lawson delivers pre-defined Federal Government rules for the following
categories:

- S (Support)

- G (Garnishment)
