U.S. tax law requires payment of social security and medicare taxes by both employees and their employer. The logical abbreviation for pay stub purposes would seem to be "Emp" for "Employee" and "Emp" for "Employer". Because the dual use of "Emp" would create confusion, the industry solution has been to use the first and last letters of "Employee" and "Employer". Hence, the phrase ER Taxes refers to the employer's portion of the total taxes payable to the IRS or Social Security Administration. Harley Snyder harley.snyder@gmail.com
