Deductions from employee paychecks have always been a normal part of processing payroll. However, in the last several years, states have begun putting in-laws around what is legal to deduct from employee wages. These new laws have raised more challenges for the payroll department than in the past.

As such, we will review the laws that surround all types of deductions an employer can take with or without employee consent. For instance, did you know that employers in some states are not allowed to take deductions from employees that are not authorized in writing by the employee? Or that some states allow you to take deductions for payroll overpayments - but for only a specific period of time from the time of the overpayment.

This webinar will give a general overview of the types of deductions that employers take from an employee's check. By attending, you will gain the knowledge to be sure that how you process employee payroll deductions are in accordance with the law at both the federal and state level. This training session also covers how to handle employer loans and advances, as well as IRS taxation issues that occur with payroll overpayments.
