The company has the following departments:
Department A: Agricultural Workers

Initial pre-tax deductions for each employee are as follows:

Thomas Millen | Insurance: $155/paycheck 401(k): 3% of gross pay |
Avery Towle | Insurance: $100/paycheck 401(k): 5% of gross pay |
Charlie Long | Insurance: $155/paycheck 401(k): 2% of gross pay |
Mary Shangraw | Insurance: $100/paycheck 401(k): 3% of gross pay |

The first day of work for Prevosti Farms and Sugarhouse for all employees is February 1, 2021. February 5 is the end of the first pay period and includes work completed during the week of February 15. 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 per company policy. 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. The federal withholding tax should be computed using the wage-bracket tables in Appendix C. State withholding tax for Vermont is computed at 3.35 percent of taxable wages (i.e., gross pay less pre-tax deductions). The same deductions are allowed for state as for federal.
February 19, 2021, 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 24, 2021, and check numbers will continue from prior payroll.
The hours for the nonexempt employees are as follows:
Name | Hourly rate | Hours worked 2/1-2/5 |

Towle | $ 12.00000 | 35 hours |
Long | $ 12.50000 | 40 hours |

Required: Complete the payroll register for this pay period and update the Employee Earnings Record form for each employee with the corresponding information. The Step-2 of Form W-4 is unchecked. The amount per period should be included in the record. As an example, if an employee elected to contribute $1,300 to his or her FSA, the period payroll deduction would be $1,300/26, or $50.
Benefit-related payroll deductions will take effect on the first pay period of March.
Employee | Flex-Time | Child Care Assistance (under $5,000 annually) | FSA (annual) | Educational Assistance ($4,000 annually) | Life Insurance (at 1% of annual salary value) | Long-Term Care Insurance ($15 per period) | Gym Membership ($15 per month) |
