The employer WITHHOLDS the amount required in the garnishment and pays that amount each pay period to the company/person having the legal right to that amount.
Yes, it is illegal for an employer to not pay employees on time. Employers are required by law to pay employees according to the agreed-upon schedule, whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences for the employer.
Your employer sends it to the federal government to help your income tax bill
The pay schedule can vary depending on the employer and the type of job. Common pay schedules include weekly, bi-weekly (every two weeks), and monthly. Weekly pay typically means employees receive their wages every week, while bi-weekly pay results in employees being paid every two weeks. Monthly pay means employees receive their wages once a month.
Yes. This is not an unequivocal "Yes" if there is a collective bargaining agreement in place between employer and a union representing the employees. If that agreement calls for weekly salary payments, the employer would be prohibited by contract from changing the pay period. The employer could go to the union and ask that it agree to a change in the contract pay period, but the union would have to agree. Of course, when the contract expires, the employer can demand a change in the pay period, but that will then become an issue for the new contract negotiation. If the contract requiring a weekly pay period is no longer in effect and if the employer insists on a monthly pay period, the union might refuse to accept that condition and go on strike.
Withholding is the portion of an employee's wages that is not included in their paycheck but is instead remitted directly to the federal, state, or local tax authorities. Withholding reduces the amount of tax employees must pay when they submit their annual tax returns. For employees, withholding is the amount of federal income tax withheld from your paycheck. The amount of income tax your employer withholds from your regular pay depends on two things: The amount you earn. The information you give your employer on Form W–4.
Whether checkers get paid weekly can vary by employer and location. Many grocery stores and retail establishments do offer weekly pay, while others may have bi-weekly or monthly pay schedules. It's best to check with the specific company or organization for their payment policies.
When you earn income from an employer, the employer automatically withholds a portion of your salary for federal income taxes, which they remit to the government on your behalf.
An employer is required by law to subtract FICA from your paycheck (or pay it himself and add the amount as additional income on your W-2) as well as pay his own share. Your employer will deduct the amount from your salary with or without your consent. In rare cases where the employer cannot deduct FICA from your salary (for example, you work mostly on tips and your salary is less than what you owe for FICA), your employer will simply report the uncollected amount to the IRS on your W-2 and whether you pay or not is between you and the IRS. Similarly, if you have unreported tips or self-employment, your employer will not get involved in whether or not you pay.

Imagine the toilet bowl is your wallet and your digestive track and anus is your employer. Every week/2 weeks/ month etc. your employer(anus) will poo(feces) out an amount of money into your wallet(toilet). Pay frequency is essentially the amount of times you poo within a given period.
An employer withholds 7.65% and contributes 7.65%. As a free-lancer, you are probably not an employee but rather a contractor. You, therefore, must pay self-employment tax, which is 15.30% (7.65% X 2).
