calculate additional deduction as % of gross

When doing SAWP payroll I have to deduct a percentage of the gross payroll. I have to go to employee set up each week and change the deduction amount (which I calculate in an excel spreadsheet) based on their actual pay that week - can you put an option to deduct the same percentage each week to avoid this extra step?

    It is quite necessary, as calculating the percentages manually for each entry is time consuming. Having an option to select a percentage directly in the deduction field would save a lot of time. I am surprised this feature hasnt been added, even after a year and I can see many people asked for it.
