Employer Question 30
Our company's pay periods are biweekly. There are 26 pay periods per
year. How do I compute how much I should deduct?
Answer
The Order/Notice includes the amount to withhold if your pay periods are
weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly. Keep in mind that the child support
order itself specifies a monthly payment. If your employee voluntarily agrees
to have child support deducted from the first paycheck of each month, you
are not bound by the computed amounts on the Order/Notice, only the overall
figure and the 50% limit. Deducting once a month from the first paycheck
might be preferable for an employee who is paid bi-weekly because, if support
is paid by the pre-calculated per paycheck deductions, in some months your
employee may seem behind in support and in other months, more than the monthly
obligation is deducted.
