Help! Salary/Employer/Tax-related question

What is the name of your state? Florida

Hello. I am a U.S. citizen currently legally employed at a law firm in Miami, FL.

Every time I receive my salary, I just get a ``net´´ deposit in my bank account. However, my employer has never once given me a pay stub or receipt showing what amounts were withheld, for what taxes, soc. security, insurance, etc...

Isn´t there a law or provision entitling me to receive record or each pay period, showing withholdings, taxes, etc.???

Isn´t my employer required to give me these statements showing what is being taken out?

How do I know if I am actually receiving the correct net amount?

Can anyone help me, give advice, or point me to a law, provision, or requirement that I can bring to the law firm, mandating that they give me all the past records?

Thank you. Look forward to your responses.

Well, step 1 is to go to the payroll dept/person & request a statement of gross pay to date & all deductions, so that you can see if your withholding is on target. If you've been receiving gross pay with no wothholding, start saving like crazy, because you're going to have to pay income taxes AND employment taxes in April. (Use the tax on unreported tips form to figure the taxes.)

If that doesn't work, call the state labor/employment department & ask if an employer is required to account for any difference between gross & net pay on each check. The dept will be able to point you to the specific statute.
