Use of the term Anglo-Saxon begins with Walter Scott, as an adjective meant to differentiate the common people of England from the haughty and oppressive Norman-French aristocracy (the so-called Norman yoke).
Pretax Payroll Deductions. Pretax payroll deductions are qualified deductions that lower your employees' taxable wages. You subtract their contributions from their gross wages before figuring their tax withholding. Some pretax deductions reduce taxable wages for income tax; others reduce taxable wages for Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Voluntary Deductions. The Payroll Department processes a variety of voluntary deductions for permanent employees. Some of these deductions are tax deferred which means they are exempt from Federal and State Withholding taxes. Some deductions are pre-tax which means they are exempt from FICA/Medicare tax as well as Federal and State Withholding taxes. Please consult the table below.
