Making Garnishment Payment Adjustments

For times when garnishment payments are made outside of the ExponentHR system, you can record these payments in the payment history.

Note: Entering a payment adjustment makes a change to the payment record. It does not affect the amount deducted from employee pay or the amount remitted. If you need to adjust the amount for a period of time, perform a payment override. See the Related Help Topic.
