3D rendering of a melanocyte. Through a process called melanogenesis, these cells produce melanin, which is a pigment found in the skin, eyes, and hair. This melanogenesis leads to a long-lasting pigmentation, which is in contrast to the pigmentation that originates from oxidation of already-existing melanin.
Example 1. You spend $200 for a business-related meal. If $110 of that amount is not allowable because it is lavish and extravagant, the remaining $90 is subject to the 50% limit. Your deduction cannot be more than $45 (50% Ã $90).
As such, if an employee only makes minimum wage, NO deductions can be taken. Deductions for items like uniforms, tools, property damage or other items for which employers may charge employees are considered for the convenience of the employer and therefore cannot take the employeeâs pay below minimum wage.
