Payroll Deductions Policy

The Company is required by law to make certain mandatory deductions from employee paychecks. The standard deductions we withhold are Social Security, Medicare, State and Federal taxes, unemployment compensation and in some states, disability premiums.

Some employees may also have additional deductions mandated by court such as child support, IRS Tax levies or student loans. The company must make these deductions, so if you have a dispute in regard to the amount of frequency of these deductions, speak to someone in the payroll or human resource department.

Federal law (the Consumer Credit Protection Act) limits the amount that may be garnished from your pay in any pay period and prohibits the Company from terminating your employment because your pay is subject to garnishment for any single debt.

General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
