MIT Data Warehouse PAYROLL DEDUCTION DETAIL Table


This table contains payroll deductions information, including requested deduction amount, the amount taken during the payroll run, arrears/deduction not taken amount, as well as -- for some types of deductions -- the amount paid-to-date and the remaining balance. The data starts in July 2006 and records are added to this table after every payroll.

ARREARS_AMOUNT

The total deduction amount that Payroll was not able to take up to and including this pay period. Some, but not all, deductions, if not paid as expected, are set up to go into arrears, meaning that Payroll attempts to take this amount in the next pay period. Ex: An amount might go into arrears if a person is on leave without pay, and there is no salary from which to take the deduction.
