To calculate the payment correctly, the payroll frequency is required. This information is needed with every payment because in many cases the gross income amount fluctuates. Payroll frequency can change if bonuses and commissions are paid. KIDS, the child support computer system, does not retain the gross income information or payroll frequency information. The employee is still responsible for any difference between the CCPA limits and the court orders and may voluntarily agree to have the full amount withheld.
CCPA limits are a percentage of an employee's disposable income.
Disposable income is that part of the earnings of the employee remaining after deduction of federal, state, and local withholding taxes, and Social Security taxes.
