Employer Question 6

Do I need to tell you the date I withheld the payment?

Answer

Yes. The pay date/date of withholding is also known as the Legal Date of Collection (LDC). This date is vital to our office for accurate accountings and MUST be included on the check or check stub. The date is required so our office can properly distribute payments. Our office is unable to use the "pay period ending date”, "invoice date” or "check date”. We must use the pay date that is the date the employee was actually paid.

If you provide the LDC, we capture that date and your employee is not charged interest for a "late" payment. For example, if the payment was deducted from the employee's check in May but not sent until June, if the LDC is provided we would post the payment to the May date.
