Limited Funds Tells the system what to do if an employee does not earn enough money in the payroll to cover direct deposits or deductions. The options in the drop-down box are "Partial" or "Next." If partial is selected, the deduction or direct deposit uses all the remaining funds in the check and then complete the amount in the following payroll. If next is selected, the deduction or direct deposit are not taken at all in the current payroll but are taken in full the following payroll. |
