DBA Arrearage Methods

Q:  How do you use the different arrearage methods on DBA Setup?

A:  Arrearage methods P, F & N will create a 9997 (overpayment) DBA when an employee does not have enough money to take the DBA.  The DBA will show on the Payroll Register but is offset by DBA 9997.  A 'Deductions Not Taken' report is created during pre-payroll.  History is updated in the monthly bucket for the corresponding payroll run.

Arrearage methods Q, R, G & H actually go into arrears.   A 'Deduction Arrearage' report is produced.  If any part of the DBA can be collected, that amount will show on the Payroll Register.  The amount that wasn't taken will be on the report and update to history in the arrearage field.
