Additional percentage of income tax to be taken off paychq

I have two employees that want an additional 20% income tax taken off each pay.  I have been doing it manually, seeing the original calculation, calculating 20% of the gross, then adding it manually to the income tax field - ie, reg tax is 178.68 , 20% is 180.40, so new income tax total is 359.08.

I use the payroll chq run, so it is a pain, not to include them, and then do each of their cheques separately. 

Any ideas or advise

    There is no easy solution to your pain within Sage 50. The TD1 form allows for extra tax to be taken but only provides for a dollar value not a percentage. Maybe you could come to an agreement with the two employees as to what the dollar value should be and then use that amount consistently. Under the guidelines for the TD1 you can not change this amount without a new TD1 being completed, yet you are changing it with every pay when using a percentage.
