lost paychecks that were endorsed. Please contact the payroll processor if you lose a check and they will
assist you in a reissue. You will be charged any stop payment fees incurred, to be deducted from the next
paycheck.
• Final Paychecks - Your final paycheck will include deductions for any money owed to the company, including
borrowed paid time off. Upon voluntary termination, you will be paid all earned wages by your next regularly
scheduled payday. Within thirty (30) days of termination of employment, you will be paid all earned, unused
vacation at your base (salary) or routine/normal (hourly) rate of pay. If you are terminated by the company,
you will be paid all wages within six (6) days of the termination date.

Payroll Deductions
Law requires some payroll deductions and our company requires others. Below is a list of possible deductions you
can expect from a paycheck.
• Federal Income Tax
• Social Security Tax (FICA)
• Local or State Income tax
• Health/Dental/Vision/Life Insurance
• 401K Contributions
• Pay Advances
• Uniform Fees
• Lost Check Fees
• Wage Garnishments
• Administrative Fees Associated With Wage Garnishments

These deductions will be itemized on your check stub. The amount of the deductions will depend on your earnings,
insurance plan, and the information you provided on your W-4 form regarding the number of dependent exemptions
you claim.
The company prohibits deductions from exempt employees’ compensation except as allowed by law. If an employee
is aware of improper deductions from an exempt employee’s compensation, this concern should be reported
immediately to the Director of Human Resources. All reported or suspected improper deductions from an exempt
employee’s compensation will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. If the company determines that an improper
deduction was made, it will reimburse the employee promptly for the amount improperly deducted.

Tax Reporting
Each year, the company will send you a Wages and Tax statement (W- 2 Form) to be mailed no later than January
31st. This will show you your taxable earnings, including wages, bonuses and any other taxable benefits. The W-2
form you receive for each year indicates precisely how much of your earnings were deducted for these purposes.
If you lose your W-2, the company is not legally responsible for re-issue, but your payroll processor may be able to
assist. Fees may apply.

Claiming Tips

The IRS requires that you report all income received, including tips. It is your responsibility to report your tips
properly. See your department manager for the property-specific standard.
