“
“We’ve been fortunate enough to have our service provider
guide us through the governmental rules, and we’ve had it implemented. A couple of our executives hit [the $200,000
threshold]. I was monitoring who would
hit it.”
--Jean Bateh, Technology
Credit Union, San Jose, Calif.
“Our services provider has already implemented it. None of our executives have really hit that
[$200,000] threshold yet, but once we do, we’ll be good.”
--Thomas Buckley,
Long Wave Inc., Oklahoma City
“The additional Medicare tax doesn’t affect a lot of people
in my organization. As far as processing
it and making sure that it happens, our service provider backs us up in making
sure those things get taken care of.”
--C.J. Easterling,
CPP, Community Loans of America Inc., Atlanta
“We didn’t experience any issues with it. We have a software provider that supported us
through it. We got ourselves educated on
how it works.”
--Kimberly Lentz, CPP,
Yum Brands Inc., Louisville, Ky.
“It doesn’t affect too many people, so it hasn’t been that
bad. So far, it’s affected one person
and we just communicated with him; he was aware of it and he was fine. We’re very keen on communication, and we do
reach out to our highly compensated employees to let them know the payroll that
it’s happening on so they are totally aware of it.”
--Barbara Mack, American
Bar Association, Chicago
“I know that we have to charge 0.9 percent from $200,000 or
more. However, we’re a public agency and
none of our employees have hit that marker yet. We anticipate that we will have
maybe one or two that will hit the extra FICA tax.”
--Carmel O’Hara,
CPP, Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, San Francisco
