Payroll

An attachment of Earnings (AEO) is an official form issued to an employer, usually by the court.  It instructs the employer to deduct an outstanding debt directly from an employee’s wages.  There are various reasons why a court may issue an attachment, including unpaid fines and child support.  To cover administration costs, you can also deduct an administration fee of £1 from the employee for each pay period, for each attachment.

To set up an AEO

1. Double-click the required employee to open their record, then click the Employment tab.
2. Click Pay Element, then click Attachment of Earnings Orders.
3. Click the next available line under Attachment Name.
4. Click the dropdown button and select the required attachment.
5. Click OK and enter the AEO details:

• If the attachment if ongoing with no end date or total value, leave the Total Attachment value as 0.00.
• Some attachments have protected earnings built into the legislation. If you use an attachment without this set, you can enter an amount under the Protected Earnings column.

6. Click Save.
7. Click Save, then click Close.
