PR46.2 - Canada Garnishment Rules



Use Canada Garnishment Rules (PR46.2) to define and maintain the rules
the Payroll  system uses to calculate garnishments for a specific Canadian
entity (provincial, federal, and so on).



**Process at a Glance


1. On Canadian Garnishment Types (PR46.1), define any garnishment
types not provided by Lawson.
2. Define garnishment rules using this form.
3. Define employee garnishments using Canadian Employee Garnishment
(PR47.1).



**Processing Effect

The Payroll system uses the rules on this form to determine what portion
of employee pay is exempt from garnishments, how the system calculates fees,
and how it handles employees with multiple garnishments. Lawson does not
deliver
any Canada garnishment rules. You must define all the rules your company uses.

The Payroll system uses the rules you define on this form when you run
Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140).

If a garnishment has more than one variable rule, you must enter all
the pertinent information for each variable on a separate line. For example,
if the garnishment calculation of an employee with 0 dependents differs from
the calculation for an employee with one or more dependents, you add a line
of formula details for 0 dependents and a line of formula details for one
and more dependents.





**More Information

Lawson delivers pre-defined Federal Government rules for the following
categories:



- S (Support)


- G (Garnishment)
