(a) Certain deductions are made from an employee's paycheck as required by law, in accordance with employee benefit plans, or as requested by the employee. These deductions are itemized on the employee's pay statement which accompanies his or her biweekly paycheck. Deductions include:
(1) PERS/PFDPF- The State law requires that employees contribute to the Public Employees Retirement System or the Police and Fire Disability and Pension Fund, rather than Social Security.
(2) Income Taxes- Federal and State laws and some City ordinances require that taxes be withheld from each salary payment. The amount of tax to be withheld is determined from tables furnished to the Village personnel office by the Ohio Department of Taxation and various Ohio cities, and varies according to the amount of salary and number of dependency exemptions. Employees are required to complete withholding tax certificates upon initial employment and to inform the personnel office of any dependency change whenever such change occurs.
(3) Medicare- Employees hired on or after April, 1986 must participate in Medicare. Payroll deductions as established by Federal laws will be made by the Village.
(4) Miscellaneous- Examples may include, but are not limited to, garnishments, deferred compensation, child support, medical insurance, supplemental insurance, recoupment of overpayments, etc. The Village may refuse to make deductions, not required by law, which are below certain prescribed minimum amounts, or at irregular intervals, or for other cause which the Village deems not in the best interests of the Village. All requests for payroll deductions must be presented to the Hiring Authority. The Village will not make any deductions which potentially interfere with an employee status as exempt or non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act. If an employee feels a deduction has been made in error, the employee shall notify their supervisor immediately to investigate the problem.
