(A) No payroll deductions will be made from an employee paycheck unless authorized by the employee or required by law. When decreed by court order or state law, including past due taxes, the city will deduct an amount determined by the court or the state from the gross wages of the employee. Employees are required to report changes in family status, address, or other information that could affect amount of deductions withheld.
(B) The city is legally required to make certain deductions from each employee’s paycheck, including federal, state and local income taxes. The city must also deduct social security taxes on each employee’s earnings.
(C) The city offers programs and benefits authorized by the Mayor. Eligible employees may voluntarily authorize deductions from their paychecks to cover costs to participate in these programs.
(D) When the city 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 city.
(E) Questions concerning paycheck deductions and/or methods of calculation should be directed to the Clerk-Treasurer.
