APA Congress Coverage 2013

How has your organization handled the additional Medicare tax?

Tuesday, May 7, 2013

 “Bateh“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.

Buckley“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

Easterling“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

Lentz“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.

 Mack“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

Ohara “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
