Pay Advances
No pay advances or extensions of credit on unearned wages will be provided to employees.
Pay Deductions
The law requires that the Company make certain deductions from every employee's compensation. Among these are applicable federal, state, and local income taxes. The Company also must deduct Social Security taxes on each employee's earnings up to a specified limit that is called the Social Security "wage base." The Company contributes the amount of taxes as required by law.
The Company offers programs and benefits beyond those required by law. Employees who wish to participate in the programs may voluntarily authorize deductions from their checks. If you do not understand why deductions were made or how they were calculated, your supervisor can assist in having your questions answered.
