Extended Deduction Information Page

The Extended Deduction Information page allows you to determine how PowerSchool ERP Deduction Table records can be used and will display in PowerSchool ERP Employee App. The only type of deduction an employee can change in the PowerSchool ERP Employee App is a direct deposit deduction. This table should be used to determine the settings for the types of direct deposit deductions employees can add and/or change.

This page also includes instructions/disclaimers, whether they can modify the deduction/benefit, and other settings, which have been reserved for future development of the PowerSchool ERP Employee App and will not currently be accessible when using this page.

This page is accessed through:  Main Menu > System Administration > All > Employee App Configuration > Extended Deduction Information
