PR46.2 - Canada Garnishment Rules
** Form Purpose
Use Canadian Garnishment Rules (PR46.2) to define and maintain the rules the
Payroll system uses to calculate garnishments for a specific Canadian entity
(provincial, federal, and so on). 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.
** Prerequisites
You must define an HR Company and a Canada Tax Authority before you can set
up Canadian garnishment rules. Also, if you want to use a garnishment type
that is not delivered by Lawson, you must define garnishment types.
** Decision/Impact
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.
** Required Fields
The following fields are required if you want to add a garnishment rule:
- Company
- Governing Tax Authority
- Category
- Formula
And at least one formula detail record, which consists of all or a
combination of the following fields:
- Marital Status
- Basic Exempt
- Basic Calc Type
- Wage Levels
- Additional Exempt
- Additional Calc Type
- Minimum Exemption
- Minimum Calc Type
- Minimum Dependents
- Maximum Exempt
- Maximum Calc Type
** 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).
