| What is a payroll deduction? |
| A deduction, in the broadest sense, is any reduction from gross pay applied to an employee's paycheck to derive net pay. Deductions can be voluntary or involuntary, meaning they can be initiated by the employee or required of the employee without their consent. Common examples of voluntary deductions include retirement contributions (401(k), IRA), insurance premiums (medical, dental, vision), and child care. Common examples of involuntary deductions include child support, tax levies, and other court orders. |
