[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you actually agree with her on a net pay rate? Were you clear that that only meant net of FICA taxes and not income taxes? Did you get a W-4 form and agree on how income tax would be handled? If not, I'm afraid this is not something you can figure out in a day. You have no idea what her tax situation is and what her effective income tax rate is. You can, legally, increase her net pay rate by about 8%, withhold her FICA, and call it a day. But, that leaves the huge issue of income tax on the table. It would be a nasty surprise come January for her if she thinks her pay is truly net of all taxes.[/quote] This. You also need to have her fill out an I-9 and a W4 (which will tell you about the income taxes). You can download these forms from the IRS. If you've really agreed to "net" a certain amount including all income taxes, I hope she has a bunch of exemptions, or you may have A LOT of money to add to each check![/quote]
