After you set up a deduction or contribution for one employee, you can assign it to other employees.

    (Or click the Employees tab.)
  2. Click the employee's name.
  3. In the Deductions & Contributions section, click Edit.
  4. In the Deductions for Benefits section, click the Add a Deduction link.
  5. Click the Deduction drop-down arrow and then select an existing HSA deduction or select New Deduction. If you don't see the Deduction drop-down arrow, go to the next step.
  6. Select HSA plans for the category.
  7. Click the Type drop-down arrow and then select the taxability of the deduction:
  8. Enter the description that appears on the paycheck.
  9. Select % of Gross Pay or $ Amount and then enter the deduction amount per pay period.

You're responsible for determining an employee's eligibility and annual maximum for HSA contributions. We don't automatically limit the annual maximum for you, because plans vary widely. The maximum total annual contribution from the employee (pretax plus taxable) and you is their HSA plan deductible or the current IRS limit, whichever is lower.
