Calculating employee deductions in payroll is a crucial step in ensuring employees receive their accurate net pay. Here's a breakdown of the process, typically handled by the employer's payroll department or a payroll service provider:
(A) Gathering Information:
1. Employee Withholding Allowances: This information comes from the W-4 form completed by each employee. It details their filing status and the number of withholding allowances they claim, which affects the amount of federal income tax withheld from their paycheck.
2. Benefit Elections: During enrollment periods, employees choose their desired benefits (health insurance, retirement plans, etc.) and specify their contribution amounts (e.g., percentage of salary for retirement savings).
3. Court Orders (if applicable): In cases of garnishments for child support or student loans, the employer receives court orders specifying the amount to be withheld from the employee's paycheck.

El eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) es una de las formas más sencillas pero eficaces de evaluar la opinión de sus empleados sobre su empresa. Incluye una pregunta intrigante que mide la lealtad. Un ejemplo de las preguntas del eNPS son ¿Qué probabilidad hay de que recomiende nuestra empresa a otras personas? Los empleados responden a la encuesta eNPS en una escala del 1 al 10, donde el 10 denota que es "muy probable" que recomienden la empresa y el 1 significa que es "muy poco probable" que la recomienden.
