Any help appreciated from guys/gals that are familiar with the system!

From my experience as an Express pilot, back when we had payroll deduct in EmployeeRes was to always use that option. They used to charge for passes (even in coach), with that option, you were only charged when a boarding pass was generated. Where I used to commute out of, we always used to list on Express flights (because you couldn't list jumpseat on those) in order to give the other commuters a heads up, then just not check in. You were never charged if you didn't check in.
The same goes for First, if they don't issue you a First seat, then you don't get charged. If you pay via credit card, you get charged immediately, then it takes a while to reverse the charges.
In short, I'd go payroll deduct. I think you'll like EmployeeRes over SkyNet.
