When to use this form
Use this form when an employee authorizes money to be taken from a paycheck for benefits, repayments, or voluntary giving. HR and payroll get clear, written consent and the exact terms. Common cases include health or parking premiums, union dues, equipment loans, charity pledges, or court-ordered withholding. Start during onboarding so deductions begin on the first check; pair it with the New hire onboarding form. Update amounts after a promotion or raise using the Request for salary change form. You can also use it to pause or end a repayment on a set date. With clear details, you reduce errors, prevent disputes, and speed up payroll.
Must Ask Payroll Deduction Questions
- What is your full name, employee ID, and department?
These identifiers ensure you apply the deduction to the right person and cost center. If you are setting up payroll for the first time, match details with the New hire payroll form to avoid mismatches.
- What deduction are you authorizing and who is the payee?
Stating the purpose (benefit, loan, dues, charity, or garnishment) and the recipient helps route funds correctly. It prevents sending money to the wrong vendor or fund.
- Is the amount a fixed dollar value or a percentage of gross pay, and what is the exact amount?
This defines how payroll calculates each check. Clear math stops over- or under-withholding.
- When should the deduction start, how often should it run, and when should it end or reach a total cap?
Scheduling avoids missed or indefinite deductions and sets expectations. A cap or end date is key for loans, advances, or time-limited benefits.
- Do you consent to these terms, acknowledge reductions if net pay is insufficient, and provide your signature and date?
Explicit consent and signature make the authorization valid and auditable. You also confirm how to change or stop it later, which you can request through the Employee change form.
