Minimum Earning Protection

[Shelly3]

I have an employee who has an IRD fine. I have set this up as a Court Fine deduction because the repayment amount is a value or 20% of the gross income. It is also a reducing amount.

My problem is that the percentage of gross income for the minimum earning protection appears to be closer to 30%. 

Can you please advise what the default percentage is, if I can change it or if I am missing something?

I can not find where you change the maximum deduction percentage for a Court Fine. Looking at the screen shot of the Court Fine Deduction Can you please indicate where I check and am able to edit the percentage?
