Laws require MCC to take deductions from your pay. Deductions are money taken from your pay for certain things such as federal, state, and local taxes. The law also requires us to deduct Social Security taxes from your pay. We must deduct up to a certain amount called the Social Security "wage base." We also contribute to your Social Security. We pay the same amount of Social Security tax to the government as we deduct from your pay.

MCC also offers programs and benefits to eligible employees that are not required by law. You may ask us to deduct money from your pay to cover your payment for these programs.

We may have to take a "pay setoff" from your paycheck. Pay setoffs mean that MCC must deduct money from your paycheck to pay off a debt you owe us or someone else.

If you want to know why money was deducted from your paycheck or how your pay is calculated, see the Executive Director.
