How do I set up a Union Deduction that is a percentage of Basic or Gross?

First you need to specify under Company settings the Union Percentage of Basic-Pay or of Gross-Pay for your company. (NB use this standard option which appears on the main payment capture screen and not a Custom-Extra) If Union is to be set as a percent of gross and not basic then be sure to tick the check box for "Worked on Gross and not Basic". It is found next to the "union percent-amount" on the Company Settings page. Then you need to specify who is actually on the union so that the deduction will be made. Go to Edit-employees to edit employee's specific details. On the bottom right hand side is "Union Member?". Tick the checkbox if the employee is on a union. Note: To enter multiple employees at a time use the Table-Employee batch edit option and tick the Checkbox for all those employees who will need to have a Union. Remember that if a payment has already been made for the current month, you will need to re submit the payment for the union to take effect. Note: This is a standard option and so you do NOT need to add a custom Extra for Union deduction unless you would like to have two different unions in the Company. Union is paid by the employee and not by the employer. The deduction off the payslip will result in the Total Union amount for the month shown on the monthly summary report so that you know what to pay. If you choose the option for Union on Gross, then note that it is worked on Gross less any Gratuity or Terminal benefit payments etc.
