The AEO’s tab is used to add in an ‘Attachment of Earnings Order‘ – generally court orders and child support payments.
AEO’s are set up for each individual employee in their ‘Employee‘ > ‘Employee Maintenance‘ and then under the ‘AEO‘ tab.
Creating an AEO
You would normally receive a letter from the courts or relevant department with information about the AEO, which would give you details on the AEO.
- Click the ‘Add New’ button to begin.
- Select the AEO required from the order type drop down menu. You can see the section below for some basic AEO types and their calculation type.
- If the AEO required has protected earnings then you can enter that figure in the relevant box. If the box is yellow and you cant enter a protected earnings value, then you do not need to enter a value for this AEO type. You may be using the wrong AEO type, the calculation may be handled for you in software or this AEO type simply doesn’t have protected earnings.
- Using the information supplied on the AEO letter received, enter in an ‘Issuing Body Reference’ and ‘AEO Reference’ if known.
- The ‘Total to be Paid’ and remaining balance to be taken must be entered in the 'Balance' box. These amounts will be the same if deductions have not started yet.
- Enter the ‘Data Received‘ (date you received the letter)
- Enter the ‘Issue Date‘ (may be noted on the form you have received)
- Enter ‘Start Date‘(the date the deductions are to be started from their pay)
- Enter ‘Finish Date’(You can leave this blank if it is an ongoing AEO, like child maintenance)
- Finally the amount to be deducted each period.(If it is a percentage AEO you will not be able to enter an amount, the software will calculate the deduction as the percentage that is to be taken.
You are now ready to save this AEO, the software will use the details you have entered to apply, deduct and stop the AEO as necessary.
