Ali Campbell works as a cook for Jenny’s diner. Her regular pay rate is $15 per hour, with time-and-a-half for hours in excess of 40 per week. Campbell’s payroll deductions include withheld income tax of 10% of total earnings, FICA tax, and a weekly deduction of $15 for a charitable contribution to United Way. Campbell’s employer is required to pay SUTA and FUTA tax. Use a 5.4% SUTA tax rate, and a .6% FUTA tax rate. The state unemployment wage base in the state where Campbell works is $36,000. Assume that Campbell has made $4,100 prior to this pay period.
