3rd Party Deductions & Garnishments

Homebase Payroll handles post-tax deductions differently depending on type:

Deduction Type	Supported?	Payment Handling
Child Support Garnishment	Yes (all 50 states + DC)	Homebase automatically remits payments to the agency.
Other Garnishments (ex: tax levies, creditor garnishments)	No	You must send payment directly to the garnishing agency or party.
Miscellaneous Post-Tax Deductions	Yes	Deduction appears on employee’s pay statement, but payment must be managed by the employer.

Important to Note

When you run payroll with a post-tax deduction:

• You’ll see notifications about any required payments on the payroll confirmation screen and the payroll details page.

Note: For non-child support garnishment types, you need to send the payment to the garnishing agency or appropriate party.
