An ASC (Attachment of Salary/Earnings) status is a legal designation applied to an employee's record when a court order, government agency, or other authorised body requires deductions from their salary.
This typically includes child support payments, debt recovery orders, council tax arrears, or other legally mandated deductions that must be taken directly from the employee's wages.
You need to amend or add an ASC status to ensure legal compliance and accurate payroll processing when dealing with statutory deduction requirements.
To amend or add an ASC status for an employee, follow the steps below in Back Office.
📌Note: The logic in the Maintain Employee Details screen is that the ASC Status is based on what is set as default for the pay group attached to the employee. If the default ASC status is not populated for the pay group and the user tabs through the screen, it will clear the ASC Status field for the employee. To avoid this, the user can populate the 'Default ASC Status' at pay group level if suitable or don't tab through all fields on the screen.
