Why is your employer not deducting income tax from your paycheck?
Federal and state taxes should be deducted by your employer based on how you filled out your Form W-4 when you were hired. If you claim too many exemptions on your Form W-4 it may result in no federal taxes being withheld. If you need to change the amount being deducted, you will need to fill out a new Form W-4. Contact the IRS or state tax agency for help in filling out your Form W-4. If you need a different Form W-4 for your state taxes, you may fill one out and write "State only" on the top before giving it to your employer.If your employer is refusing to withhold taxes from your pay, you can contact the IRS and submit a Form W-4 directly to them. This notifies the IRS that your employer is not complying with the law.If you are classified as a independent contractor, anyone who hires you does not make any payments on your behalf. Independent contractors are responsible for making estimated payments for their federal and state income taxes and Social Security taxes. They are also not eligible for unemployment. If you are concerned that you should not be an independent contractor, you should contact your state's employment department to determine if you are really an independent contractor or an employee (and your employer is illegally trying to save money by not classifying you as an employee).

What is the percentage amount that the employer pays to FICA?
As of the new law passed in Dec 2010: The tax is payable on the first $106,800 of earnings. Earning are defined slightly differently for this than what is used for withholding, (or other things). Additionally, a portion of what was a total of 15.3% tax equally paid between employer & employee - or entirely by self employed (half employer paid, half employee), is dedicated to Medicare and has no maximum earnings limit. HOWEVER: Under current law, employees pay a 6.2% Social Security tax on all wages earned up to $106,800 (in 2011) and self-employed individuals pay 12.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on all their self-employment income up to the same threshold. For 2011, the Senate passed 2010 Tax Reform Act gives a two-percentage-point payroll/self-employment tax holiday for employees and self-employeds. As a result, employees will pay only 4.2% Social Security tax on wages and self-employment individuals will pay only 10.4% Social Security self-employment taxes on self-employment income up to the threshold. The maximum savings for 2011 will be $2,136 (2% of $106,800). The amount paid by the employer will not change and will be that same 2% more than the employee.

That should read "can employer CHANGE hours worked on timesheet and paycheck?

His paycheck also reflects that he just worked 40 hours. If your husband is on salary, then he is paid only for 40 hours. If he is hourly, then he should be paid for the hours he works. Of course, if overtime is against policy, then your husband should leave work after 40 hours.
