At Leeds West Groups, payroll deductions are handled in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local wage and hour laws. We are committed to transparency and want team members to clearly understand what deductions may appear on their pay statement and why.

 

Quick Answer
Some payroll deductions are required by law, while others are voluntary and authorized by you. All deductions are itemized on your pay statement in Dayforce.

 

Deductions Required by Law

LWG is legally required to withhold certain deductions from pay each pay period, which may include:

  • Federal, state, local, Social Security, and Medicare tax withholdings

  • State-mandated disability insurance or paid leave deductions, where applicable, based on the state in which work is performed

  • Court- or agency-issued wage garnishments, such as:

    • Child support or spousal support orders

    • Tax levies

    • Student loan garnishments

    • Creditor-issued garnishments

    • Medical support notices

    • Other legally required withholding orders

 

Voluntary and Authorized Deductions

Where permitted by applicable federal, state, and local law, LWG may withhold deductions that you have voluntarily authorized, including:

  • Employee contributions for medical, dental, and vision benefits

  • Insurance premiums

  • 401(k) or retirement plan contributions

  • Other voluntary deductions you have expressly approved

LWG does not deduct wages for any purpose unless the deduction is required by law or permitted by law and properly authorized.

 

Important Things to Know

  • LWG prohibits wage deductions except as required or permitted by applicable law.

  • All deductions are clearly itemized on your pay statement, which should be reviewed each pay period.

  • If an improper deduction is identified, LWG will promptly investigate and resolve any concerns or issues as soon as practicable, in accordance with applicable law.
