Summary
The following article explains how to enter and keep track of an employee's Direct Earnings Attachments (DEA).
 | If you are unsure about Direct Earnings Attachments, please refer to the information you will have been provided with by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) explaining the rules or visit the .gov web site. You will have received a notice from the DWP to start collecting DEA payments for an employee. |
More Information
Go to " Payroll Run Payroll Period".
- If you have more than one payment frequency for your employees, enter <Y> against the employee's pay frequency or click the [Down arrow] and select [Yes]. Click the [OK] button to go into the payroll.
- Highlight the relevant employee and press <Ctrl+F7> to take you to the Attachment Order Entry screen.
 | If there are existing attachments for this employee, press <F5> to edit an existing one; if you need to create a new attachment, press <F6> to create a new one. |
- This will take you to a screen asking for the required "Agency".
- Enter 'DEA' for 'Direct Earnings Attachments'.
 | If you type 'DEA' in upper case and get a message saying 'Agency Not Found', please see this article. |
- Enter the start and end dates from the paperwork supplied to you by the DWP in the "Start Date" and "End Date".
- In the "Reference" field, enter a description for the Attachment, e.g. 'DEA - JB', where J and B are the initials of the employee.
- On the "Attachment type", enter '12' for 'Direct Earnings Attachment'.
- If the total amount owed is shown on the DWP paperwork, enter this in the "Total Amount" field.
| Generally the 'Total Amount' is not provided, and a stop notice will be issued to you once the attachment is no longer required. You can therefore leave this field blank. |
- Press <Esc> and [Accept] to complete.
