  1. Mandatory. The District is required by law to make certain deductions from the employee’s paycheck each time a paycheck is prepared. Among these deductions are federal, state, and local income taxes and Social Security contributions. These deductions will be itemized on the check stub. The amount of the deductions may depend on the employee’s earnings and on the information furnished on his/her W-4 form regarding the number of dependents/exemptions claimed. A new W-4 form must be completed and submitted to the District Payroll Department for any change in name, address, marital status, or number of exemptions, to ensure proper credit for tax purposes.

It may be possible for the employee to authorize the District to take additional deductions from his/her paycheck, such as savings deposits, pre-tax deductions, payroll savings plans, etc. Contact the Payroll Department at the District Office for details and the necessary authorization forms.
