B. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS Deductions from each employee's gross pay period earnings are of two types: mandatory and voluntary. Mandatory deductions are those that the City of Batesville is required to make by law, court order, or other legally compelling influence on payroll. Such deductions include state and federal income tax withholding, social security, and wage garnishments. Mandatory deductions, in accordance with applicable legal requirements, will be made automatically by the City of Batesville. However, such mandatory deductions as state and/or federal income tax where the City must rely on information provided by an employee, will be the sole responsibility of the employee to provide accurate information within legal limitations. Voluntary deductions are those requested by employees to be made on their behalf and may include such items as supplemental insurance, deferred compensation, etc. With the approval of the City Clerk's office, additional withholdings may be added to the list if at least 10 employees request it. Voluntary deductions will not be made without the employee's signed request or authorization, and advance approval of the City Clerk's office. C. GARNISHMENTS The City of Batesville expects its employees to take care of their financial obligations on time to maintain a good reputation in the community. However, when an employee does not meet his/her obligations, wages may be garnished by a creditor for non-payment when the creditor wins a court judgment. 8
