It\u2019s that time of year again, yes the holidays too, but with the end of the year comes TAX TIME! If you own a business or work as an independent contractor you are probably well versed with your deductions and either can\u2019t wait to add them up are dreading the big bill to Uncle Sam. On the other hand most employees just file what the w-2 says on April 15th<\/sup> and wait for their tax return, BUT are there deductions you can take too. What about your boss are they using you as a deduction where they shouldn\u2019t?<\/p>\n Time to double check your paystub, there are only a few LEGAL deductions an employer can make from your paycheck and it pays to pay attention.<\/p>\n Of course it is the HR department\u2019s job, along with payroll to make sure your check is calculated correctly, but this is easier said than done and you may be surprised at the number of mistakes that go un-checked, mistakes that may be costing you big. The company has the right and in fact, is required by law to make some deductions from your check, such as income tax and social security contributions, but are you sure you know everything coming out of your check each pay day?<\/p>\n Is your company overstepping and deducting additional items from your check? This is essentially stealing; if your company is trying to deduct their cost of doing business from your paycheck you need proper representation as soon as possible. It is best to have a professional help you address this rather than going to the company yourself. The team at UELG can verify if in fact the deductions were made in error and help you collect in a manner that will help ensure you get everything you are owed.<\/p>\n
