Can I set up a deduction in Celery that is automatically transferred to a bank account?

Yes. You do this by creating a copy of wage code 900 and adding it to the employee via Fixed wage codes.


How do I create the wage code?

Go to Employer > Wage codes. Find wage code 900 and click the copy icon. Give the copy a name that matches the deduction, for example "Goods Taken" or "Loan deduction". Save.

The bank details are not entered on the wage code itself, but on the employee's fixed wage code. Go to the employee > Payroll tab > Fixed wage codes. Click + Add, select the wage code and set: Bank, Account number and Include in payment file to Yes.


Where do I enter the amount?

If the amount is the same every period, enter it in the Instalment amount field on the employee's fixed wage code. For a variable amount, enter it manually during payroll processing.

From the next payroll run in which the employee is processed.
