Adding Additional Direct Credit Component for an Employee

In some situations, employees may wish to set up their net income so that a fixed amount goes to a separate bank account. The Direct Credit component can be used to split off these fixed amounts, and the Direct Credit Balance component will continue to pay out everything that is left over. Employees can have multiple Direct Credit pay components set up and working together, and funds will be allocated in the order seen on the Pay Components screen.

To add a Direct Credit for an employee, select the desired employee and navigate to the Employee tab > Pay Components screen. Select Deductions from the list at the top of the Employee Pay Components list.

Select Direct Credit from the Component drop down box, and enter the date you want the direct credit to start. Tick or un-tick Exclude from Manual Pay option (typically most direct credits would be excluded from paying out in manual pay runs).

Click on the new component (now appearing in bold) in the pay components list. In the values to the right enter:

• Amount to deduct from each pay period
• Bank account number
• Enter code, particulars and reference to show on recipient's bank statement (if applicable).
