# How do I create deduction headings for loans/AOE Orders?

## For AOE Orders

You may receive a court order from either a council or agency who wish to recover money directly through the employee's pay. With **Cintra iQ**, you can set up different types of attachment of earning orders (**AOEs**) so that money can be automatically taken from an employee's wages. Depending on the type of **AOE** order, you can perform the following:

- Enter the **Deduction Amoun**t on the **Employment Record**.
- Set the **Deduction Amount** to be calculated automatically.

### Council Tax AOEs

Council Tax AOEs are calculated automatically using the deduction tables. Child Support (Ongoing) orders would have set amounts on the order which are entered on the employee record. Or, you might have a direct earnings attachment order such as a court order for an employee to pay parking fines.

You can create an **AOE** deduction heading to display on the employee's payslip.

### To create the aoe deduction heading

1. Navigate to the **Deductions Heading** window. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Adjustments > Deduction Headings
2. Click the **New** button. The **New Deduction Heading** form appears.
3. Enter the heading's **Name**.
4. Enter the **Reporting Group**.
5. Select the **Category: AOE Deductions**.
6. Click the **Next** button. The **AOE Deduction** form appears.
7. Click the **Apply** button. The deduction heading appears in the **Deductions Heading** window.
