THERE IS NO LAW SAYING THE EMPLOYER HAS TO GIVE THE EMPLOYEE THE EMPLOYER PORTION.SHOOT, A LOT OF EMPLOYEES DON'T EVEN KNOW THERE IS AN EMPLOYER PORTION.
`SEC. 903. WAGES TO BE REPORTED TO SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION.

`(a) In General- Employers shall submit such information to the Social Security Administration as is required by the Social Security Administration to calculate Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act, including wages paid, in a form prescribed by the Secretary. A copy of the employer submission to the Social Security Administration relating to each employee shall be provided to each employee by the employer.

There isn't anything in HR25 that says they have to give them 100% of their paychecks either...

SHOOT, A LOT OF EMPLOYEES DON'T EVEN KNOW THERE IS AN EMPLOYER PORTION

If your intent is to fool your employees you could also tell them they don't need 100% of their paychecks because they no longer have to pay income tax....after all, why would they need 100% of their wage, isn't everything going to be 20-30% cheaper?

You don't need to yell.

No, but there is in the Labor and Texas Payday laws. If you make X salary your employer cannot deduct anything (besides withholding taxes) from your paycheck without your permission. If he lowers your salary you have the right to move on.

Section 903 of HR 25 is irrelevant to your argument. It is just saying that your employer reports your income to SSA so they will know how to calculate your future SS benefits. Nowhere on that form will be the employer or employee portion, because there won't be anything to report. This is like the W-2 form employers send to SSA and give their employees now every year.

Now you're just grasping at straws.

If you will go back to my original post you will see that I apologized in advance for using all caps to distinguish our comments. Jerk.
