Re: Payments
Your employer is required to make certain mandatory withholdings on your paycheck having to do with taxes, and social security. There may be other non-mandatory withholdings related to insurance, retirement, and other matters.
If you're concerned about any withholding which is occurring, you should request that your employer clarify exactly what the withholding is
for and whether it is proper under the circumstances.
