The two main types of payroll deductions are mandatory deductions and voluntary deductions. Mandatory deductions include federal, state, and local taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare contributions, which are required by law.

MDC on a payroll check typically stands for "Mandatory Deduction Code," which refers to specific deductions that are required by law or company policy, such as taxes, Social Security, or retirement contributions.

No, an employer cannot make unauthorized payroll deductions. Deductions from an employee's paycheck must be lawful and typically require the employee's consent, unless mandated by law (such as taxes or court-ordered garnishments). Employers should clearly communicate any deductions and obtain necessary permissions to avoid legal issues. Unauthorized deductions can lead to penalties and employee grievances.
Another name for withholdings is "payroll deductions." These are amounts deducted from an employee's paycheck for taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, or other benefits. Withholdings are typically required by law and are designed to prepay income tax and other obligations.
Other statutory deductions refer to mandatory withholdings from an employee's paycheck that are required by law, aside from income tax. These may include contributions to social security, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation funds. The specific deductions vary by country and jurisdiction, and employers are required to comply with local regulations regarding the amounts and reporting of these deductions.
