Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Taxes are usually taken out using the monthly amount like a yearly amount. You'll probably get a lot of it back when you pay taxes for the year.
You will definitely get a lot back. They tax it like you make $8k every month.
You should reduce your tax amount that your company is paying for you to the IRS. You can calculate it yourself and tell your company to modify it.
Form W-4 is the paper you're supposed to use, they may have a digital version they prefer, but that's the thing to look for. You can adjust your withholdings that way.
Withholding. That’s the word I was looking for. I shouldn’t be on the internet seconds after I wake up.
I would check with your local laws but it's very rare those kinds of policy are enforceable. If you need to pay them 5k to quit, it's akin to slavery.
No, they're actually pretty common in certain industries, and definitely enforceable, at least for sure within the state of California. If you sign a contract that says you get a certain amount of money for starting a job, contingent on working for them a certain length of time, that's typically paid out on day 1, but you have to pay it back if you leave early.
Ya for sure, my point is more that compagnies will use it even in place where it isn't enforceable. Although it's an anecdote, it did happen to my sister in a place where it wasn't allowed. They didn't even ask again after the first time she told them to pound sand.
I also really doubt if it's enforceable in California if there is a valid reason. I can't imagine a company going after someone if they quit because of a toxic environment, lax safety standards, sexual harassment or something similar. But I'm just making an educated guess tbh.
I knew about it in California but it always surprises me with its reputation.
I wouldn't doubt companies would use it any place it's not enforceable, and at least attempt to collect.
I'm not sure the nuances of it, other than having talked to a couple of people who were in that situation, talked to an attorney, and ended up paying. I would suspect having a valid reason like sexual harassment wouldn't affect if it's enforceable per se, but give you a lot of leverage to convince a company it isn't worth pressing the issue.
