Deductions and contributions

Voluntary payroll deductions are amounts that your employees pays out of their paycheck. You can set up and track deductions for:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (both pretax and post-tax)
• Retirement plans, including 401(k), 403(b), Simple 401(k), Simple IRA 408(p), and SAR SEP 408(k), plus the catchup provisions of each of these. Catchup allows a higher contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over.
• Flexible spending accounts (FSA), including dependent care FSA and medical expense FSA
• Cash advance repayments
• Loan repayments

Mandatory deductions include wage garnishments like child support orders and tax levies. As the employer, you would receive a court order for this kind of deduction. If you get a court order for an employee, here's what you do.

Payroll contributions are company-paid benefits for employees. We'll set up contributions for things like health insurance and retirements plans; you can assign them to different employees.
