Atto Payroll provides flexible tools for managing deductions, benefits, and court-ordered garnishments for your team. These settings help ensure accurate payroll and tax compliance.
Deductions
You can set up the following deduction types for your employees:
Pre-tax deductions
These are withheld before taxes are calculated and can reduce the employee’s taxable income.
Examples: Health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions.
Post-tax deductions
These are withheld after taxes are applied.
Examples: Union dues, parking fees, charitable contributions.
Garnishments
Garnishments are legally mandated deductions that must be taken from an employee’s paycheck to pay off specific debts.
Examples: Child support, student loan repayments, back taxes.
Atto supports garnishment processing and ensures these amounts are deducted and reported properly.
