Make child maintenance deductions from an employee's pay

Skip to contents of guide

Updating your payment schedule

You’ll get a monthly payment schedule by post after you’ve been sent a deduction from earnings order (DEO).

It will tell you all your employees who have a DEO and the amount due for each employee.

You must send an updated payment schedule to the Child Maintenance Service if you cannot send the full deduction amount.

You must include how much you’ve deducted and why you’ve not been able to deduct the full amount.

How to send an updated payment schedule

You can update your payment schedule online.

You can also fill in the form you received in the post and send or email it to the Child Maintenance Service Employer Payment Team.
