APA Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) - FAQ Sample Questions

How does the IRS provision withholdings for employees that work for a period of time less than one week?

Correct Answer:
figure withholding on a weekly payroll period basis, regardless of other employment.


when dealing with the irs tax withholdings for employees who work less than a typical one-week period, it is important to understand how the withholding should be calculated to ensure compliance with tax laws and accuracy in payroll processing. the primary method of calculation for these situations is based on a weekly payroll period. this method is used even if the actual employment period is less than one week.

specifically, if an employee certifies that they are not employed elsewhere for that same week in a capacity that subjects their wages to withholding, the employer should proceed to figure withholding based purely on this weekly period. this approach streamlines the withholding process by treating the payroll as if it were for a standard week, regardless of the number of days worked.

additionally, if an employee is not engaged in another job, they can be placed on a daily or miscellaneous pay period. this flexibility allows employers to adjust the withholding based on the actual days worked, which could be more appropriate for short-term or irregular employment schedules.

however, if the employee obtains employment with another employer while still employed, they must inform their original employer within ten days. upon notification, the employer needs to determine if the other job also involves tax withholding. if the second job does withhold taxes, then the original employer should also continue to withhold taxes based on a weekly payroll period.

in cases where an employee starts another job after their employment has begun, the withholding method may need to be adjusted. initially, the employer should continue to withhold based on a weekly basis. but if the employee later notifies the employer of additional employment, it becomes necessary to verify whether taxes are being withheld from the wages of this other employment. if so, the employer may need to switch to withholding on a daily payroll period basis to ensure the correct amount of tax is being withheld considering the total income from multiple sources.

this process ensures that the correct amount of taxes is withheld from an employee's income, regardless of the length of the employment period or the existence of multiple jobs, thereby adhering to irs regulations and safeguarding both the employee and employer from potential tax issues.
