You need to ask this more clearly. Withhold for what and to whom.
Most payroll withholdings are mandatory (like taxes etc) or done to benefit the worker.
If your meaning not pay you for your fair work well, you need to ask this more clearly. Withhold what, why and to whom.

Employers cannot withhold money from employe's pay without their written permission - not even fed tax or Social Security or mandatory union dues.
Employers authorized to withhold pay cannot reduce your paycheck to less than HOURS WORKED * fed minimum wage.

∙ 12y agoThe laws for withholding pay are different on a state by state basis in the United States. For example, the State of Arizona does not allow withholding pay by more than five days. Other states have similar restrictions.
General contract law requires that if one is employed, then one is scheduled to receive pay no later than at the beginning of the next pay period. This may be two weeks, one half month, monthly, etc.
There are US Federal guidelines on when an employer can not pay you. Absent a court order... they may only withhold the portion YOU have indicated to them to withhold, such as taxes. The rest must be timely paid to you.

∙ 11y agoYour question is badly phrased. Yes, an employer can (is capable) of withholding pay, however an employer may (is authorized by regulation) only withhold pay under specific conditions. These conditions vary depending on the laws, rules & regulations in effect over the jurisdiction in which you live.
If you believe you have been unfairly treated by your employer, you need to discuss the situation & your options with a labor relations attorney or your local government workforce counselor (generally located at the unemployment office).

∙ 9y agoAs an employee, you signed a legal contract with your employer. As long as it is within the terms of your contract, it is legal for your employer to suspend your pay. In addition, if you breached the contract, it is legal for them to do so. To know if you have breached your contract, or if suspension of pay is within the contract, you will have to review the document.

Is your employer responsible for taxing you corectly?
Your employer is responsible for collecting the correct amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your employer is also responsible for withholding the amount that should be withheld based on the W-4 form that you filled out and gave him. You control the amount to be withheld based on what you put down on the W-4 form. This is rarely, if ever, the actual amount of tax you owe. If the withholding is not enough to cover the taxes you owe or if the employer fails to withhold taxes, you are still responsible for paying them directly to the government.
Can bankruptcy eliminate employee taxes 1040 and 1041?
The employer does NOT pay employee taxes. He withholds the money from employees, in trust for them, and pays them to the government. Not doing so is theft and criminal. BK of his business, even if incorporated will not eliminate them, or the criminal act of mishandling them. ALL officers and responsible employees for payroll are individually liable for them too (and the same with sales taxes), and their own assets will be subject to seizure to pay them. Few things are looked and handled as critically as these funds or pursued so vigorously. Do not kid yourself for one moment that there is ever considered a justified reason that any mishandling of these funds, not yours but employees salary, is ever acceptable or allowed. If you mishandled them (or are in anyway involved in a position of responsibility with a company that has done so), get legal help now!
