The first day of work for Prevosti Farms and Sugarhouse for all employees is February 6, 2017. February 10 is the end of the first pay period for Prevosti Farms and Sugarhouse and includes work completed during the week of February 6-10. Using the payroll register, compute the employee gross pay and net pay using 35 hours as the standard workweek for all employees except Mary Shangraw, who works 20 hours per week and receives overtime for any time worked past that point. The other hourly employees receive overtime pay when they work more than 35 hours in one week. Joel Schwartz has made $5,000 in case sales at a 3 percent commission rate during this pay period. Remember that the employees are paid biweekly. Note that the first pay period comprises only one week of work, but the pay frequency for federal income tax purposes is biweekly. Federal withholding tax should be computed using the wage-bracket tables in Appendix C. State witholding tax for Vermont is computed at 3.55 percent of taxable wages (i.e., gross pay less pre-tax deductions).

February 24, 2017, is the end of the final pay period for the month. Schwartz has sold $7,500 of product during this pay period at a 3 percent commission. Pay will be disbursed on February 27, 2017, and check numbers will continue from prior payroll.
