Withholding exceeds paycheck

What will PowerChurch do when an employee has asked for extra money to be withheld from their monthly check and there is a month when that amount is greater than their gross pay? For example...they work two jobs and on their W4, they have requested that $260/month extra be withheld from federal taxes...but they only work enough hours that particular month for $200 gross pay. Will PowerChurch know to process any state withholding first, then withhold the entire balance of their pay for federal?

I'm fairly sure that the system does Federal first, then state. What I would do in this case is to manually adjust the Federal withholding to only take out what is left after the state tax is determined. I would process this employee separate from the rest.
