Changes in Garnishment Processing

Scope of Functions

Some changes have been made in the Garnishments component of U.S. Payroll in this release. These include:

Improved prioritization of garnishment document service charges

New option to apply the CCPA-defined federal rule to garnishment documents

Changed field names in Infotype 0194 - Garnishment Document

old field name:,,Origin
new field name:,,Jurisdiction

Other field names have undergone minor changes to improve clarity.

Service charge prioritization

The assignment of priority to garnishment service charges has been enhanced. From this release forward, the system levies a service charge for processing any one garnishment if and only if processing for all other garnishments has been successfully completed. In effect, the processing priority of all service charges is now subordinate to the processing priority of any garnishment.

For example, if three distinct garnishment documents exist for the same employee, and if your enterprise elects to levy three distinct service charges for processing each document, then the system must first process all three garnishments before levying any single service charge.

CCPA - Federal Rule

A new option exists to apply the federal rule, as defined by the Consumer Credit Protection Act, to employee garnishments. If this option is activated, then the system will compare the CCPA Federal Rule with the rule you have established for the model non-exempt amount. The system will then apply the more favorable of the two rules to determine the non-exempt (garnishable) amount for the garnishment document.

To apply the CCPA federal rule to garnishments in your enterprise, perform the Customizing step described below.

Standard settings

As delivered, the standard system features a pre-configured garnishment module under client 000. Should your enterprise require this pre-configured functionality, then you may copy it from client 000 into your productive clients. Your enterprise will then be able to process garnishments, without first performing the necessary configurations.

By copying this module, you may overwrite any existing entries in your productive clients that pertain to garnishments. Thus, we recommend that you evaluate your current garnishment configurations before copying the module.

Effects on Customizing

Both the CCPA Federal Rule and the rule for the model non-exempt amount are located in the view Rules for Calculation of the Non-Exempt Amount. To activate comparison of the CCPA Federal Rule within your system, select the checkbox labeled CCPA - Federal Rule in this view. If you do not select this checkbox, then the system will not consider the CCPA Federal Rule during garnishment processing.

To access the view, choose the following menu path in the U.S. Payroll Implementation Guide:

Garnishments -> Master Data -> Order Types -> Garnishable Amounts -> Create rule for non-exempt amount

Note

Upon copying the pre-configured module, we recommend that you review the values in table T5UG9. Depending upon the configuration of your system, two of the pre-configured garnishment default values in this table may not be copied. These values are used in the application of the CCPA Federal Rule. To ensure that they are present, perform the following steps.

Execute transaction SM30.
Enter T5UG9, then select Maintain.
Search the table for the following two entries:

Identifier

08
09

Description of identifier

CCPA Federal Non-Exempt Model
CCPA Federal Disposable Net Model

Default value (in preconfigured module)

/F00
LEFE

If the above entries are present, exit the transaction and proceed with garnishment processing.
If the above entries are not present and if you elect to use the pre-configured module, select Display ->Change. Add and save the above entries, exit the transaction and proceed with garnishment processing.
If the above entries are not present and if you do not elect to use the pre-configured module, select Display -> Change. Add and save the entries for the CCPA non-exempt and disposable net models that will be used in your system. Exit the transaction and proceed with garnishment processing.
