Report Link Employers Paying Severance Have Opportunity to Reduce FICA Taxes.
Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. - August 20, 2009
The current economic climate has caused many employers to institute reductions in force. In doing so, employers often provide their former employees with severance pay in an effort to soften the impact of unemployment. Normally, both the employer and the employee recipient incur taxes imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA")1 on these payments. However, it is possible for both employers and employees to reduce FICA taxes by structuring some or all of these severance payments as supplemental unemployment benefit payments ("SUB-Pay").
