The withholdings are not payment of the income taxes but a payment toward whatever their income taxes might be. The employee will file a tax return after the end of the calendar year at which time the years withholdings will be prepayment of the tax owed on the return. If the withholdings are more that the tax is then the taxpayer will receive a refund but if the withholdings for income tax are not enough then there will be a balance due from the taxpayer that they have to pay.
