# I can’t enter a value for the Union Fee in MYOB Payroll. How can I fix this?

**(For: MYOB Business Payroll – Deductions Setup)**

If you're unable to enter a value for a deduction (such as **Union Fee**) during a pay run, it’s likely due to the **Calculation Basis** being set incorrectly when the deduction was created.

Here’s how to resolve this:

**Update the Calculation Basis**

- Go to **Payroll \> Pay Items \> Deductions** in MYOB Business.
- Click on the **Union Fee** deduction from the list.
- Under **Deduction Information**, find **Calculation basis** and change it to:  
  **“User-entered amount per pay period”**
- Click **Save** to confirm the changes.

Rest assured, this setting allows you to enter a custom deduction amount during each pay run — ideal for coursework scenarios that require manual input.

If you're still having issues after updating the setting, feel free to contact our **Support Team**.
