PAYROLL: Miscellaneous Garnishments

Payroll admins can now manage additional court-ordered garnishments directly in Keka with support for Spousal Support / Alimony and Bankruptcy (Chapter 13) deductions. A new centralized Garnishments & Deductions workspace helps you manage employee deductions, track remittances, and stay compliant with court-ordered wage withholding requirements.

What's new?

Support for new garnishment types

• Added Spousal Support / Alimony and Bankruptcy (Chapter 13) as pre-defined post-tax deductions.
