can my employer withhold my final check
Withholding means that employer is taking funds out of the check for taxes.
Absolutely "NO". They cannot charge to withhold taxes. They can charge to withhold a garnishment if instructed by the court.
This varies from state to state. In Maryland, an employer must make an agreement with the employee to have deductions placed on the paycheck.
No, an employer cannot take an entire payroll check to pay a bill owed to them. Under federal and state wage laws, employees are entitled to receive their full wages for work performed, and employers cannot withhold or deduct wages without consent or legal justification. There are specific regulations governing wage deductions, and any unauthorized deductions could lead to legal consequences for the employer.
To determine if an employer is legitimate, research their reputation, check for a physical address and contact information, and verify their credentials and reviews from other employees.
To find out if your employer offers pet insurance as a benefit, check with your HR department or review your employee benefits package.
Amounts withheld from employees' payroll checks are considered a liability for the employer because these funds are not the employer's property; instead, they are owed to third parties such as tax authorities, retirement plans, and other benefit providers. The employer has a legal obligation to remit these withholdings on behalf of the employees, which creates a financial responsibility. Until these amounts are paid to the respective entities, they represent a liability on the employer's balance sheet.
First your paycheck with your net take home pay (net pay after all deductions) that you have in your hand will not have anything withheld from it because it is issued to you after all of the necessary taxes and other amounts that the employer is required to withhold from your gross wages, salary, earnings, etc. You should get this information from your employer payroll department as they will be the one that would know how much FICA, federal income tax, state income, local taxes, etc they will have to withhold from your hourly pay or gross pay for the pay period.
