FICA contributions, including various sub (categories of things like SS, Disability, Health, etc) are 15.30% of FICA wages. What is considered FICA wages differ from other wage considerations in many ways, (it has a top limit of about 97.5K, how pension contributions factored, State taxes, etc.).
If you are an employee, the employer MUST pay half of the contribution. If your self - employed, the amount normally paid by the employer is collected through something called the "self employment tax" when you file your income tax return.
Yes they do. All wages are subject to FICA and Medicare Taxes. The employer and employee each pay 6.2% of the gross income for Social Security Tax and each pays 1.45% of the gross income for Medicare Taxes. The number of hours works has nothing to do with whether or not taxes are taken out for these taxes.
The benefits a part time employee receives depends largely on the employer. There are government rules on the number of hours one can work, as well as break time. However, health insurance and other benefits would depend on the employer.
Yes they can. If it negatively impacts the employee's performance at their Full Time position, they can be disciplined or let go.
Yes, unless the employee has a signed contract.
No. Not if the employer is not set up to offer it to any of his/her employees OR if the company does offer it and you are a 'Part-time employee' working under 35 hours a week OR if you are a 'Full-time employee' and have not worked for the company for 90 days.
true
yes it's the law
Nothing in the law of any state dictates when an employee is full time and when s/he is part time. An employee is full time when the employer (and/or their insurance carrier) says they are.
It really depends what type of job but the employer is most likely looking for a full time employee.
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
An employer is entitled to keep a record of time keeping and absenteeism of an employee. Time keeping is important as it could alter how much the employee is paid.
It would seem logical that a negotiator who is a full time employee of, for example, the Teamsters Union, would be subject to FICA withholding taxes.
An employer ncan schedule an employee to work any schedule without violating a statute, as long as the employee is paid for every hour worked.
