Employment law varies from one state to another. In some states, the Department of Labor handles complaints about illegal withholding of wages. A phone number for the state Department of Labor should be available through the state government's website.

How much tax is taken out of 2000 dollars?

You do not have a set percentage amount for this purpose. For the tax year 2010 the social security and medicare tax is withheld by your employer payroll department from your first dollar of your gross earnings at the 7.65% rate. The 7.65% amount is matched by your employer for a total of 15.3% contribution to the SSA insurance trustee. Then you will also have other federal income tax amounts and other items that your employer payroll department will be required to withhold from your gross earnings before you will be issued your NET TAKE HOME paycheck. You should ask the employer payroll department for the amounts that they will have to withhold from your gross earnings.

What is PAYG tax?

Although PAYG (Pay As You Go) is called a "withholding tax," it is not a tax but a procedure for withholding projected income tax liabilities as money is earned. Under that plan, the taxpayer prepays taxes in installments, usually paycheck-by-paycheck. In the U.S., prepaying federal income taxes began in 1943, when tax legislation created the first federal requirements for the payroll withholding "tax" and for estimated tax payments. The term is the common one in Australia for the employers responsibility to employees.Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding is a legal requirement to withhold amounts for income tax purposes. If you have employees, you're required to withhold tax from payments you make to them. You may have to withhold tax from payments to other workers, such as contract workers. As a new employer, you must register with the Tax Office before you withhold from payments to your employees. You may also need to withhold an amount from payments to other businesses if they don't quote their ABN to you on an invoice or other document if required.


How long do employers get to give a letter of termination and how long do they have to give paychecks and other unpaid dues?

An employer is not required to give a letter of termination; your boss can simply say, "You're fired!" then either escort you out the door, have security do so, or call the police and have you removed. The time they are required to give you your paycheck varies by state. I looked this up for a couple other questions. Colorado, for example, requires outstanding pay to be made immediately with some exceptions, while Arizona gives the employer until the 7th day after firing or the next pay period, whichever is first.
