TRANSCRIPT:
When it comes to payroll there is one word that no one likes seeing on their paystub: DEDUCTIONS. However, it is important to know what these deductions are to understand where the money is going. Although, it’s very likely your employees still won’t be happy.
There are two types of deductions: The first is Voluntary Deductions:
An employee can voluntarily agree to wage deductions that must be implemented by the payroll department. These deductions may include voluntary wage assignments to repay a debt, charitable deductions, wages withheld to purchase U.S. savings bonds, and credit union loan repayments, to name a few.
calculating taxes. These are called Pre-Tax deductions.
Since they reduce the employee’s taxable income, they reduce the required contributions that the employee and employer must make for Social Security and Medicare taxes. They also reduce the employee’s federal income tax withholding because less TAXABLE income means less income tax.
The other type of deductions are Involuntary Deductions:
Involuntary Payroll Deductions are those over which an employer or employee has little or no control. The employer is required by law to deduct a specific dollar amount of the employee's pay and remit it to a person or agency to satisfy the law. If the employer fails to deduct and remit that amount, the employer will generally be subject to a penalty equal to the amount that was required to be deducted plus possible fines and interest.
These involuntary deductions may include federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, child support, tax levies, unpaid student loans, creditor garnishments, and more. A common problem for employers is determining deduction amounts when several orders for involuntary deductions are received against an employee's wages.
A certain amount of the employee’s wages is exempt from involuntary deduction orders. If there is not enough payroll available, after amounts are exempted, to pay all the orders, the employer must understand which orders to pay and how much to pay on each order. There are methods to prioritize all of the various types of orders received by the employer.
