Deduction Reasons

How to add, edit and remove the reasons used on deduction plans

A deduction reason records why money is being recovered, for example Training or Damages. Reasons help you filter and report on plans. Your reasons list is shared across every site in your account, so everyone chooses from the same options.


Adding a Reason in Settings

  1. Select the Chime Time tile.

  2. Select Deduction plans.

  3. Select Settings.

  4. Type in your reason and press 'add reason' button.

NB: Training and Damages are system reasons — they can't be renamed or archived. Changing a reason here never changes an existing plan: a plan keeps the reason text it was created with.

Renaming a reason

  1. Select the rename button

  2. Edit name and press save


Archiving a reason

  1. Select the 'archive' button

  2. Pop up will appear

  3. Press 'Archive reason' button to confirm you want to archive


Use Case

Super users and payroll teams typically set up reasons before creating the first plans.


💡 Tips

  • Training and Damages are included as standard and can't be edited or removed.

  • A reason is optional. You can save a plan without one.

  • Keep reasons short and general, such as "PPE" or "Advance", so they're easy to filter on.
