Adding post-tax deductions to an employee profile

Post-tax deductions are amounts subtracted from an employee's earnings after taxes, such as uniform fees or wage garnishments. If you use 7shifts Payroll, you can manage and add post-tax deductions directly from an employee profile to ensure accurate payroll processing and customized setups for each employee.

Things to know

• Employers must start a chat with the 7shifts Support team to enable or manage child support deductions.
• Indefinitely recurring deductions do not expire at the end of a calendar year and will continue until manually removed or updated.
• 7shifts does not currently display a remaining balance for "Fixed recurring (Total Dollar Amount)" deductions within the employee profile.

1. Log in to the 7shifts web app as an Admin.
2. In the left navigation bar, select Team and click on the employee's name to open the employee profile.
3. Click the Benefits and deductions tab.
4. Click + Add Post-tax Deduction.
5. Enter the deduction details into the required fields.
6. Click Save to apply the deduction to the employee profile.
