How do I add deductions and contributions for benefits not managed by Zenefits?

Here's how to set up new types of deductions and contributions for benefits that Zenefits doesn't provide, such as a Simple IRA, in Zenefits Payroll, and then add them to employees.

Set Up and Add Outside Deductions and Contributions

There's a two-step process to add outside deductions and contributions in a Zenefits Payroll account:

1. If necessary, create any new deductions types or new contribution types as pay items in the account's Settings so that the new type is available in the +Add New Deductions list. Here's a list of deduction and contribution types supported in Zenefits Payroll.
2. Add the deductions or contributions to each employee.
   • Follow these instructions to add a recurring deductions and/or contributions in an employee's pay template.
   • Follow these instructions to add a one-time deduction and/or contribution in the pay run itself. Deductions or contributions added directly to a pay run will not recur.
