(A) Generally. Employees are paid bi-weekly.
(B) Pay corrections. The town takes all reasonable steps to ensure that employees receive the correct amount of pay in each paycheck and that employees are paid promptly on the scheduled payday. In the unlikely event an employee reports to the supervisor an error in the amount of pay, the supervisor should promptly bring the discrepancy to the attention of the Clerk- Treasurer so corrections can be made.
(C) Pay deductions/garnishments.
(1) The town is legally required to make certain deductions from each employee’s paycheck, including federal, state and local income taxes. The town must also deduct Social Security taxes on each employee’s earnings. The town matches the amount of Social Security taxes paid by each employee.
(2) The town offers programs and benefits beyond those required by law. Eligible employees may voluntarily authorize deductions from their paychecks.
(3) When the town is served a writ of garnishment requiring payment of a portion of the employee’s compensation, a processing fee, as allowed by law, may be deducted from the employee’s pay and retained by the town.
(4) Questions concerning paycheck deductions and/or methods of calculation should be directed to the supervisor who will discuss it with the Clerk-Treasurer to make necessary adjustments.
