The first day of work for Prevosti Farms and Sugarhouse for all employees is February 1, 2022. February 4 is the end of the first pay period and includes work completed during the week of February 14. Using the payroll register, compute the employee gross pay and net pay using 40 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 40 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 four days 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 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 18, 2022, is the end of the final pay period for the month. Schwartz has sold $7,500 of products during this pay period at a 3 percent commission. Pay will be disbursed on February 22, 2022, and check numbers will continue from prior payroll. For all employees, over 32 hours in the first week will be overtime.

The hours for the nonexempt employees are as follows:

Name	Hourly rate	Hours Worked 2/12/4
Towle	$ 15.00000	32 hours
Long	$ 15.00000	33 hours
Shangraw	$ 15.00000	16 hours
Success (You)	$ 16.34615	32 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. All insurance and 401(k) deductions are pre-tax for federal and state.

Benefit-related payroll deductions will take effect on the first pay period of March.
