Workersâ compensation tax rates are generally based on each $100 in wages an employee earns. In the state of Washington, the Department of Labor and Industries administers the workersâ compensation system.
The two main federal payroll taxes levied on wages are known as Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes. Employees and employers both pay FICA taxes: employees usually have them withheld from their paychecks, while employers pay them in addition to any other taxes they owe. However, most economists agree that employees bear the true cost of employer payroll taxes in the form of lower wages.
