Body Params

A Payroll Deduction code is a unique identifier used by payroll systems to categorize and track specific deductions from an employee's paycheck. These deductions can include taxes, health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, loan repayments, and more. Each type of deduction has its own unique code that allows it to be easily identified and processed by the payroll system. This not only ensures accurate calculations and disbursements, but also helps with record-keeping and reporting requirements.
