How do I setup a field to garnish a dollar amount from an employee’s wages?

You can setup a garnishment field on the User-Defined Fields screen. Open the Payer in AMS Payroll. At the AMS Payroll Menu, select Payer>Payer Edit>User-Defined Fields. Double-click on the first blank line. Enter in a field name (for example, Garnish) andselect the appropriate settings. You can alsoselect Examples from the Edit screento view pre-set User-Defined Fields screen.
