Pay Deductions and Setoffs

Laws require Ideal to take deductions from your pay. Deductions are money taken from your pay for certain things such as federal, state, and local taxes. The law also requires us to deduct Social Security taxes from your pay. We must deduct up to a certain amount called the Social Security "wage base." We also contribute to your Social Security. We pay the same amount of Social Security tax to the government as we deduct from your pay.

We may have to take a "pay setoff" from your paycheck. Pay setoffs mean that Ideal must deduct money from your paycheck to pay off a debt you owe us or someone else.

If you want to know why money was deducted from your paycheck or how your pay is calculated, see your supervisor.
