The Deductions and Contributions section of the Talent Profile in BOLD gives recruiters direct visibility into a talent's deduction and contribution setup — without needing to switch to Back Office or contact the BO team. From one location, recruiters can view current configuration, review historical information, add new deductions or contributions, and track who made updates and when.
Overview
Deductions and contributions are payroll amounts configured in Back Office. Deductions are withheld from a talent's paycheck; contributions are employer-paid amounts remitted on the talent's behalf. Common examples include health insurance premiums, retirement plan elections, and garnishments.
The Deductions and Contributions section in BOLD brings this information directly into the Talent Profile, so recruiters can answer talent questions and verify setup without leaving their primary workflow.
