When you create a payment override, the system bypasses all calculation rules and limits. Instead, for the time period specified, the system deducts the exact dollar amount specified.
If you need to refund money to the employee (that was held for a writ option, for example), you can enter a one-time payment override as a negative amount. Another option is to pay the employee through an off-cycle batch and record a negative adjustment in the garnishment record.
