In payroll we calculate the gross wages of an employee by meticulously following strict regulations on what must be or must not be counted as hours worked and taxable income. We pay the employee their net paycheck only by the payment method that is permitted. But what about in between? When it comes to deducting from the employee’s gross wages to achieve the net income are you also adhering strictly to the rules?
After calculating gross wages for an employee is accomplished, much more difficult decisions must be made. What must an employer deduct from an employee’s wages? What can be deducted legally? What can never be deducted? These questions and more must be answered correctly before processing that paycheck. And if this is the employee’s final check…the rules may change! Handling deductions is a complex task that payroll must get right every time for every payroll check. Failure to deduct the proper taxes could result in penalties on the employer from the IRS but making an illegal deduction for a fringe benefit or for collecting an overpayment can get the employer a visit from the federal Department of Labor auditor, the state department of labor auditor or both! Sometimes the federal government will allow the deduction but that certain state won’t.
In this webinar we will discuss what can and what cannot be deducted from an employee’s regular paycheck as well as their final one. Failure to follow the regulations pertaining to employee wage deductions can result in substantial penalties and interest.
· Taxes—which are mandatory, which are a courtesy, and which ones the employee controls
· Child support—the limits but not beyond
· Tax levies—federal and state
· Creditor garnishments—how many can you honor and how often
· Voluntary wage assignments for “payday loans”—when are they required to be honored
· Handling fringe benefits such as health insurance or group term life
· Uniforms—when the employer pays for it and when the employee furnishes it
· Meals—when they become part of the employee’s wages
· Lodging—when it is part of the employee’s wages and when is it a perk
· Shortages—the employee came up short, so they must cover that right?
· Breakage—you broke it, so you have to pay for it, legal or not?
· Overpayments—the employee was overpaid so you can just take the money back, or can you?
· Advanced vacation pay—the employee knows the vacation hours were advanced so we can take them back when the employee quits can’t we?
· Loans to employees: what terms can be set while the employee is still active and what can be taken when the employee terminates
· Employee purchases—active employees and terminated employees
· Anti-wage theft laws and the states
Of course, everyone knows that payroll deducts for federal and state taxes. However, how much input does the employee have concerning these deductions? This will be answered in this webinar. Which taxes are mandatory, which are a courtesy and which one the employee controls will be explained during this webinar. If the IRS or the state wants payroll to collect for back taxes; how is that processed? What does payroll do if a “payday loan” deduction is received as opposed to a creditor garnishment? Which ones must we honor and why. We will discuss this during this webinar.
