[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised that you didn’t switch to direct depositing her bonus after the first time. This would raise a red flag to me that she has money problems and sees you as a deep pocket. Are you sure she isn’t stealing from you?[/quote]

Op here. I know she isn’t stealing.

We normally do direct deposit. This is an exception, because it’s a gift, and we aren’t taking taxes out on it. That made me not want to direct deposit it. We normally have a payroll service do everything for us but this was going through a separate channel since it’s a gift.[/quote]

Just FYI, an employer can’t give a cash gift to an employee without withholding taxes-that’s not a thing.  If you are trying to be elegant, you should pay the bonus in the same way you pay the wage.[/quote]
Of course you can. The amount that is withheld is not related to the amount that is due. In other words, it’s still taxable income, but that doesn’t mean the amount has to be withheld by the employer at the time it’s given to the employee.[/quote]
