If the employee is not a contractor, then taxes need to be paid by the employer and the employee. A good place to get more information on this is a local small business association.

For a regular employee, business have a standard model they follow based on how much the employee earns. In practice, most businesses do withhold taxes even for employees who don't make much, just because it's legally safer for them to do so and let the employee worry about getting any overpayment back when they file their return.However, businesses do not have to withhold payroll taxes from people who are not actually on the payroll but instead work as independent contractors, no matter how much they're paid. The contractors themselves are responsible for paying the taxes throughout the year.Businesses are not required to submit earnings statements for contractors they pay below a certain annual threshold. I believe this is about $1600, but you should definitely consult a tax attorney before relying on that figure.
